Week 16
We do not experience for our
redemption (justification and sanctification) what God gives, but what we
RECEIVE that he gives (John 1:12; 3:16; 15:4-5; Romans 5:17; Revelation 3:20).

Week 15
Our health and, for most of
us, our finances, are not strong enough to survive a lifestyle that attempts to
outrun the brokenness and unhappiness of our unmet redemption needs, especially
to experience Christ each day.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16D12
Week 14
We live in a broken world
filled with hurting, broken people, so have no reason to hope we will never
experience adversity, but we have the opportunity each day during quiet-time worship
to be filled to a fuller measure of Christ who sustains us in joy and peace.
Week 13
Parents, husbands, and pastors do best to fulfill their roles when they experience God so that they can support those they serve for experiencing him.

Week 12
We are what we are and
experience what we do until God transforms us during our quiet-time worship to
make better choices.

Week 11
The Mind of God is revealed
to us in part through the Scripture. If it could be written in full, the universe could not hold the volumes (John 21:25).

Week 10
Our natural minds can understand
the Scripture as a religious (rule) book, but we can understand its message of grace
only as the Holy Spirit gives us understanding during our quiet-time.

Week 9
Truth is the Mind of God revealed
to us by the Holy Spirit during our quiet time worship, without ever being
exhausted or fully discovered – in this life or in eternity.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16C01
Week 8
We can aggressively study the
Scripture like a textbook in order to understand what it says but must learn to
submissively read the Scripture in order to hear the Holy Spirit communicate
Truth to us in order to understand what it means.

Week
7
Sometimes adult children do
not seek their parents as a support resource, but parents and children using
each other for superficial pain relief (codependence) is worse.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16B16
Week 6
An opinion is not from God
and not to be trusted that is expressed with vulgarity.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16B09
Week 5
We
can understand the message of God’s grace through resource support (leadership
in the home and Church) for understanding the Scripture or be left to learn it through
our experience of failure and brokenness.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16B02
Week 4
God
has given us
- provisions for our
support,
- guidance and conviction
(faith) to identify the resources through which they flow into our lives,
and
- desire for receiving them.

Week
3
If our
experience of Christ can recover us in this life from brokenness to health, it
will certainly have no less power in Heaven to increase us in perfection. In
this life we have day and night; in Heaven there is no night.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16A19
Week 2
Happiness
is health, contentment, and opportunity for service.
Expanded: Happiness is not the same
as feeling good or fun, or the absence of sadness or grief, but the presence
of
- health;
- contentment – a satisfied state of
mind which does not depend on recreation, entertainment, intoxicants,
expensive experiences (vacations, cruises, etc.), codependent
relationships, or winning the lottery;
- opportunity for usefulness in redemptive
service to others.
DonLoy Whisnant/The Grace Perspective/GracePoinToday 16A12
Week 1
The
solution to every problem we have begins with taking time each day to
experience Christ during our quiet-time worship.
