Multi-faceted Creative
1. The Lord initially created a man without a man or a woman. That man was Adam.
2. Then the Lord created a woman without a woman. That woman was Eve.
3. Then the Lord created people with a man and a woman. That was you and me.
4. Then the Lord created a man without a man. He was Jesus.
To think He would give Jesus to us and that Jesus would be willing to come and die is mind-boggling (Ephesians 3:20).
The baby Jesus was on a mission to do the will of His Father (John 6:38), which was to die on the cross (John 19:30) for the sins of the world (Luke 19:10; 1 John 3:8).

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.

Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
