Pastor Larry writes, "One of the more difficult concepts to grasp is how what we experience and call "free-will" aligns with the biblical teaching on God's sovereign decree, fore-ordination, human will, and responsibility. So many simply give up in their quest; or worse, attempt to reconcile these matters, based not upon Scripture, rather upon human reasoning. I is my hope this article blesses you and helps further your understanding of this subject."

Many of us being church planters with entrepreneurial natures would rather burn out than rust out. Do we feel a little flow of energy circulate through our bodies when someone commends us or compliments us on how hard we work? Do we feel challenged as a result of that to do more? It is a struggle, is it not? All of us who are called and set apart by the Father desire to be more like Jesus, and to offer up our lives as “living sacrifices.” So when could our fervor become our problem?
