My “Big 10” things I have learned after following Jesus for 25 years.

I will celebrate 25 years this June of being born again! I have heard studied and/or taught expositional and topical through the entire Bible. I have seen glorious miracles, seen the most devastating effects of sin in lives of young and old including demonized people. I have had the honor and privilege to hang around some of the most Godly men and women on this earth and, for me, It boils down to these 10 things. There are many more but here are my current “Big 10”:
1. Nothing good dwells in my flesh (my sin nature is my biggest enemy)
2. True repentance that leads to Godly sorrow saves and refreshes
3. When a person really has known God’s love and grace they will show it to others
4. Believe Truth over lies
5. We must deny self, take up the Cross and follow our Lord daily
6. Stay in the Word, worship and prayer
7. You get purpose and passion for life trusting and obeying the Lord
8. Don’t expect ultimate justice on this earth
9. Be tough and tender, not hard and hateful
10. Seek to save the lost and make disciples for Christ, otherwise if not, it’s like being in a house that’s on fire and all you’re doing is rearranging the furniture.
God bless you,
Victor Marx
