Have you ever been bitter about someone or something? Bitterness blows out the candle of joy and leaves the soul in darkness, keeping the people of God from having the power and holiness of God needed in their hearts and lives. Join Adrian Rogers as he looks at God's word to see how to battle this enemy of joy.
Jesus began His Sermon on the Mount with a well-known list of beatitudes. But what is a beatitude? Beatitude is really the satisfaction, joy, happiness, and blessing we feel when we know God has completely fulfilled a spiritual need. It is the attitude that ought to be reflected in the understanding of God's perfect provision. Beatitude is the real happiness that escapes the people who seek happiness. It is the real blessedness that comes only to those who seek the blessing of God. His beatitudes are the Keys to His Kingdom.
