Restoration
Just as any loving parent would be, God is injured and grieved when, through rebellion or ignorance, any of us pursues our own way to our own destruction. Yet His judgment is never vindictive. In fact, for the most part, God doesn’t even have to activate most instances of judgment upon sin. The vast majority of human sinning carries within itself the deadly seeds of its own penalty. As wondrous as our eternal salvation is, coming to the Savior does not immediately dissolve the long-term damage to our souls caused by sin.
Knowing Christ brings us in touch with the Holy Spirit—God’s restoration resource—for dealing with the residue of sin. The Holy Spirit offers us the help we need for supernatural recovery and the rebuilding of our minds and emotions.

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
