Our Church is going to be doing a book study later this month on “Salvation in Full Color” edited by Richard Owen Roberts .
I read the introduction over the weekend & found this great quote :
“We cannot lean back on our religious elbows and act as if we are floating into heaven on a cloud of glory. We are being saved. There are calls of God to heed; there are practical works of righteousness to perform; there are temptations to resist; there are obstacles to overcome; there are sufferings to be endured. We are not here to entertain ourselves, accumulate a fortune, and die. We are here to do the will of God, to find our place of service in His Kingdom, and to persevere faithfully until the very end.”
