Far too many Christians seem to endure their faith rather than enjoying it. Some think God delights in the dour, somber, and pathetic displays of sadness. That's NOT what the Bible teaches! I have decided I am going to enjoy my faith as the Bible says. What about when things go bad? I am going to enjoy my faith as the Bible says. What about when loved ones go to be with Jesus? I am going to enjoy my faith as the Bible says. What about when people don't understand you? I am going to enjoy my faith as the Bible says. What about when people leave the church? I am going to enjoy my faith as the Bible says. What about "whatever" or "blah blah blah" or "this or that"? I am going to enjoy my faith as the Bible says. God helping me I am going to rejoice in:
I. SALVATION
1. The Relationship with Him (Lk. 1:47, 10:20, Phil. 3:1, 3:3, 4:10)
