It's been said that if you want to test the bonds of friendship or the strength of marriage or your own sanity try to put furniture together.

How hard could that table or desk really be, it looks so simple. There are a few of you out there laughing at the naivete.

You get around to laying everything out and having to clean up the mess of all that packing fluff. You have to iron out the directions that are all crinkled up. You have to try and open that plastic wrapping that holds all the connectors. Then you start. Hopefully you have enough room. Now you have to understand the directions without words and decipher their hieroglyphs. You go to grab your 5th "Screw Type B" and it's not there. They forgot it. Now you're left with particle board that looks like it'll break if you set it down and you can't complete it. What you have is incomplete and not useful and not even close to being what you need.

Justification without Sanctification is like that incomplete monstrosity. You've tried Jesus and may have even had a good cry one time. You walked forward during an alter call and you told yourself that this was the moment you would change. Then nothing changed. You are still living with an easy approach to God and you don't feel a need to dedicate yourself because what Christ has done to save sinners from their dead life.

That is the message today from Pastor John Samuel Barnett's Ministry Moment.
