We have full confidence in Jesus Christ. Our confidence rises as the character of God becomes greater and more trustworthy to our spiritual comprehension. The One with whom we deal is the One who embodies faithfulness and truth-the One who cannot lie.

We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.

The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.

Many things about our salvation are beyond our comprehension, but not beyond our trust.

Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT; rather, it's declaring what God is.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.
