THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Most everyone in church has two opinions.
Kinda like armpits. Everyone has two.
They may stink; but, everyone has two!

Gal 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
KJV
Phil 2:14-16
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
KJV

In Christianity, there's only ONE opinion that counts; and, that is God's!
Last night, I attended revival services at Crossroads Baptist in Grayson, La.
Bro. Doyle Williams was preaching. His sermon reiterated what I've been preaching 28 years:
"Without Surrender There Is No Salvation."
Until "I am crucified with Christ," Jesus cannot come live in me.
Until "I am crucified with Christ," His power cannot help me live this fleshly life "by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me."
When Christ lives in me, then He causes me to realize that nothing comes to me which has not first been sifted through His sovereign hands.
Then, there is strength in my life to "Do all things without murmurings and disputings!"
Then, there is strength in my life by which I can strive to "live blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation."
When "I am crucified with Christ," Jesus can begin to work His power in me, and cause me to live "as light(s) in the world."
Oh Lord Jesus, help me to set aside self and live displaying You as my only purpose!
Love ya,
Bruce
