...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. No question the path a believer is supposed to walk is a narrow one. The initial entry requires an honest decision of soul surrender to a Lord we cannot see with our physical eye. The subsequent walk on the narrow path is in absolute contrast to the wide path of destruction we were on only

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. In the Old Testament it was ONLY the priests who were allowed access to the dwelling place of God. For an Israelite there was no higher privilege. It was the place where God's manifested presence dwelled. And the Priests were the only humans who were given access. We know , as New Testament

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Recently I was doing a job (involving my business) that I had no desire to do. It was a referral from one of my best clients so I felt obligated to accept the proposed project. I whined and complained to those closest people around me about NOT wanting to take it on but feeling like I

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, that I may honor You. Ps 86:11 Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow. Ps 25:14 Teach me, O Lord, to follow every one of your principles. Ps 119: 33

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Have you ever seen those bumper stickers that say something to affect of "I'm not perfect, I'm just forgiven"! Or some such nonsense. I don't remember exactly how its worded but those types of quips out of the mouths of Christians are bothersome to me. In a world where Christians are made out

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. If there ever was an author I LOVE it is Andrew Murray. His writings speak to my soul and touch the depths of my awareness and knowledge of God while urging me on to dive so much deeper and experience more of my Lord. Murray's connection with God had to be completely intertwined with his every

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Letting go of the control my flesh so desperately grapples to keep is definitely painful. It doesn't feel good. I don't know about you but sometimes I get so caught up in my own thoughts, drawing my own conclusions, holding onto unforgiveness and anger, cherishing my own perceptions/

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I don't think I know what it means entirely. What I do know is that at times when my heart is the softest and most pliable before my Lord it is a phrase that comes up from the deepest parts of me. I boldly say the words to Him in that place of surrender. Those words

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Like Paul, I am less than the least of all the saints, I am chief among sinners, I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and injurious. Once I was dead, doomed forever because of my many sins. I used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan,  following the passions and

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. It is possible. To keep Jesus out. Not even thinking about unbelievers here. As Christians we can keep Him out of what we want to keep Him out of. We can close places in our heart to Him. There are rooms, if you will,  in there... in our hearts... where we shut the door and do not allow

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. There are times when I can only rely on my heart. My head might be screaming an entirely different message at me. But my heart knows the truth of God's word because I've hidden it deep inside my heart. So when life doesn't add up and/or my flesh is weak I hold onto the confidence I have in God

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.I've been a student of the Bible for a long time.

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.It's been an interesting Christmas season for me this year. My usual mode is to get intensely involved in the hustle and bustle this holiday seems to demand. It calls for so many activities out of the ordinary. It's not like all the other regular-life things stop and we can just 'do' Christmas.No

...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.As a follower of Jesus Christ I’m so curious these days about the standard used to decide our values and conduct.
