Chained to the Chariot

I have seen more people ruined by success than failure, states Ron Dunn. The longer we live, the more we understand how a weakness, trial or thorn in the flesh will make us more like Christ than our accomplishments.

David may have never seen the Temple, but he had it in his heart. Ron Dunn and his wife may never have understood why their son was afflicted with manic depressive disorder when they wanted to be good parents. We may not understand why others are chosen to speak at the convention.

Do you need a living example of what it means to walk with God? We hear it said "Trust the Lord" but what does it mean, really? How do we live by faith? God gives us Abraham, Sarah, Ishmael and Isaac to show the answer to the one question which all believers seem to have in common.

We have come to Christ in salvation. We have answered the call of service in His Church. And we are the ones to be sifted? By Satan?
