12/30/19 I DON'T SET THE STANDARD

I've been told, "You set the bar too high."
Actually, I don't set the bar.
God sets the bar; I help folks reach His standards.

The "bar" is to be understood as the standards, requirements of God. I am not talking about rules, regulations, laws, good works, works of the flesh, which actually cannot save anyone. I am talking about the revelation, requirements of God for getting saved and living the Christian life (repentance, faith, confession, submission).

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that salvation does not change us, enable us or require us to live a godly, Biblical life. All Christians are answerable for their own response to God's will. My job, as a worker with God, is to show other people God's plan of salvation and His provision for following that plan and instruct them in godliness.
