Often we are caught up in thinking that when we are discussing Spiritual things that we must be thinking about how we deal with others.  I want to put a stop to that, just for the moment of course, and get us thinking about ourselves.  It is just SO IMPORTANT that we know how to be good Christians.

I think I have found four PRINCIPLES and if we apply them to our lives daily, we could live, in God's eyes, as very successful Christians, living daily as His Son taught us.

These four principles then are:

THE PRINCIPLE OF DEDICATION
THE PRINCIPLE OF DISCIPLINE
THE PRINCIPLE OF DEPENDENCE and
THE PRINCIPLE OF DEVELOPMENT
 

1.  THE PRINCIPLE OF DEDICATION:

2.  THE PRINCIPLE OF DISCIPLINE: (ROM 8:13)

3.  THE PRINCIPLE OF DEPENDENCE: (GAL 5:16-25)

4.  THE PRINCIPLE OF DEVELOPMENT: (1 John 1:4-5,7,9)

The secret ...  is really no secret at all.  A Balanced believer is one who is DEDICATED, DISCIPLINED, DEPENDENT UPON GOD ALONE, AND IS CONSTANTLY DEVELOPING.
