[Discoveries] 10-11-08 Spiritual math -- 2 Corinthians 3:18

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are 
being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which 
comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. -- 2 Corinthians 3:18*/

Let's do some spiritual math.

real Jesus + real you = real change

real Jesus + false you = performance without transformation

false Jesus + real you = deception and misery

false Jesus + false you = deep deception

What can we conclude from these formulas?

1. It doesn't pay to hide from God.

2. Sometimes, the most spiritual thing you can do is get honest with 
yourself.

3. When it comes to Jesus, it pays to learn to discern.

When Jesus died on the cross, God tore the curtain in the temple from 
top to bottom. The real God is here to meet the real you.

Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
