And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. (1 Kings 18:30)
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; (1 Peter 1:15)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Are you trying to bargain with God?

We should not try to negotiate with God or make promises in exchange for His blessings. Instead, we should trust in His providence and remember three spiritual truths: we must seek forgiveness daily, Christ is our King and Lord, and eternal life is a gift offered in exchange for our surrender and obedience. We should also repair our sacrificial altar, remember the times God has manifested His power, and light our altar of prayer. By seeking God with all our heart, we can live a life of victory in Christ. Read more...
