Identity

I am teaching Sunday School again this quarter using the book by Wendy Alsup, Practical Theology for Women, How Knowing God Makes A Difference in Our Daily Lives. I highly recommend it as you can see on my Amazon sidebar recommendations. One of her quotes I appreciate:

"I am often tempted to find my identity and value in ministry outside my house, but God regularly reminds me that finding my identity and value in anything other than him is idolatry."

"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
