We strive for God and others’ approval, relying on limited, finite and perishable things such as intelligence, money, beauty, biblical literacy, eloquence.

Will You Make It Into Heaven?

3 Reasons To Praise God When You Don't Feel Like it
Let me be honest. Sometimes, I struggle to believe God's Goodness and I don’t feel like praising Him. Hebrews 13:15-16 is greatly encouraging because it teaches that praising God is a sacrificial offering. It's not supposed to feel easy or ‘natural’ all the time.
