Buy it, borrow it, or steal it and read it!
There it is...short, sweet, and to the point. Really though, this book is not anything new, but John MacArthur does an extremely good job of clarifying what the will of God for a believer's life is. The book is built around six simple principles about revealed will of God. All of them are very clear in Scripture and lay the foundation for answering that famous question "What is God's will for my life????"
Principle 1 - God's wants men to be saved. (2 Peter 3:9)
Principle 2 - You must be filled/yielded to the Spirit. (Eph. 5:17-18)
Principle 3 - You must be practically pure. (1 Thess. 4:3-7)
Principle 4 - You must be submissive to authority. (1 Peter 2:13-15)
Principle 5 - You must be willing to suffer. (1 Peter 5:10, 4:19)
Principle 6 - "Do whatever you want." (Psalm 37:4)
Of course, principle six assumes that the first five are true in your life and your desires are actually God's desires. Good stuff!
Let me know your thoughts about the will of God! What other things should be in consideration?
