Sometimes truth is costly but not nearly as costly as deception.

We want Christ to hurry and calm the storm. He wants us to find him in the midst of it first.

God desires to change us from the inside out. Renewing our minds, starving our self-destructive tendencies, and teaching us to form new habits.

God desires that we become spiritually healthy enough through faith to have a conscience that rightly interprets the work of the Holy Spirit.

Our victory rests not on faith in our spirituality. Our victory rests on faith in our God.

God is not harsh; He is holy. He is not selfish; He is sovereign. He is not unfeeling; He is all-knowing. Like David, we need to come to know Him, and respect Him; and, like David, we will love Him more.

We live by faith. We love by faith.
