Good morning everyone and welcome to another mornings with the masters where we devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

It's a good old weekend episode, so I'm glad you're tuning in. We are jumping into New Morning Mercies, one of our faiths, and so let's dive in and be encouraged. This is what it says. Good is not good enough.

Complete conformity to Christ's image is the plan of grace.

Most of us are just too easily satisfied. It's not that we ask too much from our Savior.

We have the polar opposite problem. We are willing to settle for far too little.

Our personal goals, wishes, and dreams

fall far short of God's plans and purposes for us.

God will settle for nothing less than each of us being completely conformed to the likeness of his son.

He will finally and completely defeat sin and death.

He will not abandon his purpose for any reason at any time. Our problem is that often

we don't share his mind or buy into his purpose. Other mentalities capture us. One is the consumer mentality. Here

we're like religious shoppers. We really don't have functional loyalty to the plan of God.

We're looking for a religious experience that is comfortable and meets our felt needs

and we have no problem in the moving when we're dissatisfied.

The second is, the good is good enough mentality.

Here we're thankful for the changes that Grace has brought into our lives

but get satisfied too easily. We're satisfied with a little bit of biblical literacy or theological knowledge, a slightly better marriage, a little

personal spiritual growth, and so on. We quit seeking, but got us far from being finished with transforming us.

The next mentality is,

the, this bad thing can work mentality.

Here we work to make the best out of what God says is not good. So for example, a married couple is satisfied with marital something that I can't pronounce.
