Grace - Actions Begin With Beliefs

Here's a great quote from Joseph Prince:

"People are struggling to control their behaviors and actions because they don't have control over their emotions and feelings. They don't have control over their emotions and feelings because they don't have control over their thoughts. And they don't have control over their thoughts because they are not controlling what they believe. Put simply, if you believe wrong, you will struggle with wrong thoughts. Those wrong thoughts will produce unhealthy emotions that will lead to toxic feelings of guilt, shame, condemnation, and fear. And those wrong feelings will ultimately produce wrong behaviors, actions, and painful addictions. What you believe is critical. And wrong believing is the trigger that starts you on a path of defeat. It is what keeps you trapped and drives you deeper and deeper into paralyzing captivity. The good news is there is a way out of this vicious cycle of defeat."
