Truths About God
Taken from the book Lies Women Believe by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. . .
From the chapter entitled "Lies Women Believe About God". . .
"What we believe is revealed, not by what we know or what we say we believe, but by how we actually live." (p. 46)
"Everything in your spiritual life depends on the sort of God you worship. Because the character of the worshiper will always be molded by the character of what he worships: If it is a cruel and revengeful God, the worshiper will be the same, but if it is a loving, tender, forgiving, unselfish God, the worshiper will be transformed slowly, wonderfully, into this likeness." -Hannah Whitall Smith, "The Unselfishness of God" (p. 47 in LWB)
"Once we doubt the goodness of God, we feel justified in rejecting His will and making our own decisions about right and wrong." (p. 48)
Psalm 119:68 - "God is good, and everything He does is good." (p. 49)
"A great many things in God's divine providences do not look to the eye like goodness. But faith sits down before mysteries such as these, and says, "The Lord is good, therefore all that He does must be good no matter how it looks. I can wait for His explanation." -Hannah Whitall Smith (p. 49 in LWB)
"Do we truly believe God is enough, or are we looking to other things and people to fill the empty places of our hearts - food, shopping, friends, hobbies, vacations, our job, or our family?" (p. 55)
