“God has revealed so many glorious contradictions in the lives and conduct of genuine Christian believers…”

• The Christian is dead and yet he lives forever. 
• The Christian saves his own life by losing it, and he is in danger of losing it by trying to save it. 
• the Christian is strongest when he is weakest and weakest when he is strongest.
• The Christian is in least danger when he is fearful and trusting God and in the most danger when he feels the most self-confident.
• The Christian actually has the most when he is giving away the most

Lord, help me be a glorious contradiction to this world.
