A Missionary is never a beggar, for while you give--and that is commendable, and a blessing--they give their lives

from Jim Daly: Romans 2:4 that it’s God’s kindness that leads one to repentance.

"I always try to keep that passage in mind when I meet with people who disagree with me because I’ve never seen anybody beaten or insulted into the kingdom of God. It’s always through God’s grace and truth.

Some believers hear this sort of talk and rush to assume our discussion is some sort of call to be soft on sin. But that’s not the case. It is about changing the tenor of the conversation, however. Not only can we not reach people by diminishing God’s truth, we can’t reach them by conducting ourselves with a critical spirit or an attitude of meanness toward them.

People are complex, a mosaic of their experiences, their upbringing, and their hurts and joys. People are not an issue to be solved; they’re to be loved and cared for in grace and truth.

Jesus was “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Jesus demonstrated that “acceptance” and “approval” are not the same thing. Love pulls someone who’s all grace closer to truth, and it pulls those who are all truth closer to grace. Christ’s love isn’t about grace or truth; it’s about grace and truth."

thank you Jim..good reminder! “It doesn’t do any good to win an argument if you’re losing the character of Christ in you. If you’ve “won” an argument by demeaning other people, or by being harsh toward them, you’ve really lost your core."-Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family

If we allow God to create opportunities for the maximization of our lives to His glory, we will never fail to miss the greatest blessing and provision of every area of our lives—beginning with Him.
