If you would turn to 2 Corinthians, the 9th chapter, please.

For a few weeks now, we've been on this subject from our text in 2nd Corinthians, the 9th chapter, and the 8th verse.

They'll put it on the screen for us.

It says, God is able to make all grace abound toward you.

I just like the sound of that phrase.

He's able to make all grace abound toward you that you always, having all sufficiency, in things may abound to every good work.

This text tells us that God is able to make all grace abound toward us.

This word abound is an outstanding word. You really, I think,

you almost need more than one English word to describe the Greek word this comes from. And

you'll see that in different verses and in the different translations.

In John 10, it talks about the same idea of abounding.

In John 10 and 10, it says,

The thief comes not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy.

Who should you blame when things are stolen from you?

Who should you blame when things are killed in your life, destroyed in your life?

Isn't it sad that so many Christians are blaming God?

God's not our problem. Never has been.

He's our answer. And you know what's sadder yet? There's a whole lot of church-going people that's really mad at God. They wouldn't just come around out and say it most of them. And then

a lot of people that used to go

to church that don't go to church anymore mad at god they're convinced that god let them down

somewhere they're convinced god didn't come through for them they let the devil convince them

god either he doesn't care or he's not even real or all kind of manner of things.
