The kids and I have been trying to zero in on some bad habits and replace them with good ones. One of my lifelong struggles is orderliness.
So we're ALL learning what orderliness means:
Keeping things in their place instead of letting things get all messed upThen there always is self control to work on:
Stopping myself before I do wrong, Instead of letting myself go.
Then if they work more on taking the initiative:
Doing what I can to help instead of leaving the help to others
Along with meekness:
Letting others be special too, instead of thinking I'm the most special of all.
Then home would be a much better place.
I can never get victory over any sin,
except a forgiven sin.
If I say, 'I've got to get over this sin,
so I can be forgiven',
I don't know the gospel.
~John Piper from this sermon
