Much guilt arises in the life of the believer from practicing the chameleon life of environmental adaptation.

No sin, no matter how momentarily pleasurable, comforting, or habitual, is worth missing what God has for us.

We're going to have to let truth scream louder to our souls than the lies that have infected us.

Beloved, whatever we are gripping to bring us satisfaction is a lie-unless it is Christ. He is the Truth that sets us free. If you are holding anything in your craving for satisfaction right now, would you be willing to acknowledge it as a lie? Even if you feel you can't let go of it right this moment, would you lift it before Him-perhaps literally lifting your fisted hand as a symbol-and confess it as an idol? God does not condemn you. He calls you.

He is not only a God of perfect time, but of perfect timing.

If a person fears God, she has no reason to fear anything else.

A powerful motivation for believing God in our present is intentionally remembering how He's worked in our past.
