We don't accidentally drift into holiness; rather we mature gradually and purposefully, one choice at a time.

Never be content with your current grasp of the gospel. The gospel is the life-permeating, world-altering, universe-changing truth. It has more facets than a diamond. It's depths man will never exhaust.

All gifts from God are intended to direct our attention to God and create fresh affection for God.

Your greatest need is not a spouse. Your greatest need is to be delivered from the wrath of God - and that has already been accomplished for you through the death and resurrection of Christ. So why doubt that God will provide a much, much lesser need? Trust His sovereignty, trust His wisdom, trust His love.

So make it your aim and lifelong habit, when you see someone who's serving, to be reminded of the sacrifice of the Savior, for apart from His sacrifice there is no serving.

Effective teaching involves explaining to our children what they're already observing in our lives by example.

No matter the severity of suffering we experience in this life, it will always be less that what we have deserved for our sins
