Mark 7: Count Wrong
Mark 7: Count Wrong
“Rejoice in the Lord" is a command we need to obey, and about which Paul is deadly serious. We lose our joy when we shift our confidence from Christ to our own efforts, forgetting or neglecting all that is ours in Jesus, and that's a deadly shift. A joyful church counts everything as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus -- But how do we do that today? We are praying Philippians 4:19 every day at 4:19 pm (follow along in #prayer), fasting for 24 hours each week (as you are able), and giving sacrificially. Are you in? #gospelcenteredtillwedie
