To help us settle in on what the Lord desires for each of us, we need to refresh our minds with God's plan. One key passage is 1st Timothy 4:7.

Stanley Jones once described time in the Scriptures as a “time exposure to God.” He used the analogy of his life being like a photographic plate which, when exposed to God, progressively bore the image of God in keeping with the length of exposure.

“ Great Series! ” This "Disciplines of a Godly Life" series is wonderful. In fact, every sermon I have heard from Dr. Barnett so far is very edifying.
