Northwoods Ministry of Truth: Ozzone 6-12 > God writes our new name only on those places in our lives where He has erased our pride, self-sufficiency, and self-interest

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"

Father God, thank you for the love of the truth you have given me. Please bless me with the wisdom, knowledge and discernment needed to always present the truth in an attitude of grace and love. Use this blog and Northwoods Ministries for your glory. Help us all to read and to study Your Word without preconceived notions, but rather, let scripture interpret scripture in the presence of the Holy Spirit. All praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Ozzone 6-12 > God writes our new name only on those places in our lives where He has erased our pride, self-sufficiency, and self-interest

And we can add ‘self-love’ to that list of characteristics that need to be removed. Self-love is not mentioned at all in “My Utmost for His Highest’. It simply never occurred to Chambers more than 100 years ago that such an attitude could exist. Either that or he called it by another name – pride!

Self-love is the very opposite of Christian love. Christian love is about giving; self-love is about getting.

Northwood's Proverbs

The Secret to Happiness is the Joy of the Lord;

and the joy of the Lord is His manifest presence in your life.

It is our Privilege and Responsibility to Glorify God;

and we glorify God by manifesting His character every moment and in every situation.

Humility and Pride

You can tell a humble man that he has a problem with pride and he will agree with you;

but if you tell a proud man that he has a problem with pride, he becomes your enemy.

This one thing I know for sure, that whenever there is a problem with my relationship with the Lord, it is not His fault.

Some people are just plain lazy;

some people are just overly sensitive to gravity;

others are simply economical with their energy.

It's not enough to preach the Gospel; you must be the Gospel.

If you can describe your life in a nutshell, there's a good probability that you're a nut.

As a good Canadian, I'd like to apologize in advance for anything I might say that offends you; sometimes my mouth hits high gear while my brain is still in low.

Never allow the thought, "I am of no use where I am"; because you certainly can be of no use where you are not. Oswald Chambers

We cannot even begin to approach the Truth until we are willing to go wherever the Truth leads us.

The newest object of idol worship is 'my opinion'!

Suffering is the only experience we have in common with every other human who ever lived.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

-Blaise Pascal
