This is a good reminder that there is a time to not only pay full price, but also to pay in excess to the glory of God, if that’s more pleasing and honoring to Him.

God is good. But until we understand the truth that He is not safe, that He is not under our control, until we come to grips with the truth of His uncompromising holiness, we will never begin to grasp His amazing grace.

There’s no definitive proof, but the passage’s implication seems clear to me.

... whatever He does will be exciting.

It is the intermediate hell that is cast into the lake of fire.(Rev. 20:14)

Note that Paul didn’t say, “Command those who are rich to stop being rich.” The implication is that there is legitimate diversity in the amount of money and possessions held by Christians. Most early Christians weren’t people of high social standing (see 1 Corinthians 1:26-29).

You go from loving and being with Christ here, to loving and being with Christ there.

If Roe v. Wade is reversed by the Supreme Court, abortion will still be widely available in America, since many states will legalize it immediately. 

Prochoice advocates divert attention from the vast majority of abortions by focusing on rape because of its well-deserved sympa­thy factor. Their frequent references to it leave the false impression that pregnancy due to rape is common, rather than rare.
