We may go to church, pray some prayers, and read our Bibles, but in the end our actions and thoughts betray our belief that the solution to the problem of outrage in our world can be found in a worldly solution.
Actions
Joyce Meyer
The mind is the leader or forerunner of all actions. Romans 8:5 makes it clear. Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. If we have a negative mind, we will have a negative life. If, on the other hand, we renew our mind according to God’s Word, we will, as Romans 12:2 promises, prove out in our experience “the good and acceptable and perfect will of God” for our lives.
Nathaniel Emmons
Moral conduct includes every thing in which men are active and for which they are accountable. They are active in their desires, their affections, their designs, their intentions, and in every thing they say and do of choice; and for all these things they are accountable to God.
Dallas Willard
Grace isn’t opposed to effort, it’s opposed to earning.
