“The supremacy of God in all things is the great reward we long for in fasting. His supremacy in our own affections and in all our life-choices. His supremacy in the purity of the church. His supremacy in the salvation of the lost. His supremacy in the establishing of righteousness and justice. And his supremacy for the joy of all peoples in the evangelization of the world.”

Specks and Logs
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Jesus~(Matthew 7:3-5 ESV)

Regulative vs. Normative?
There are two ideas on how men can worship the Lord.
The Regulative Principle which basically says that nothing is allowed that is not commanded in scripture.
The Normative Principle that basically says that anything is allowed that is not forbidden by scripture.
In my opinion, the Regulative Principle can be too strict and relies far too much on OT laws, while NT worship is far less regulated....

Not that I am speaking of being in need,
for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
I know how to be brought low,
and I know how to abound.
In any and every circumstance,
I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
(Philippians 4:11-13 ESV)

Jesus Was Religious by Jared Wilson →
So much win in this article!
Extract:
Jesus was a good Jew. He attended synagogue faithfully, observed the feasts and festivals and religious holidays, kept the Law (better than anybody), and made it his mission to obey God perfectly. You better hope Jesus was super-religious, in fact, because it’s his perfect religion we rely on for our righteousness.
