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.

As we mature personally, as our families mature, and as our churches mature, we need the doctrine of sin more, not less; and we need to keep growing in rightly understanding and applying this doctrine. Be assured that this is no less true if you're a pastor or teacher or ministry worker. There's no pastoral privilege in relation to sin. There's no ministry exemption from the opposition of the flesh. There's only a heightened responsibility to oppose sin and to weaken the flesh, as an example to the flock.

Reminding ourselves of the gospel is the most important daily habit we can establish.

Never be content with your current grasp of the gospel.

Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness.

Sunday is the best day of the week because we celebrate the risen Christ of the cross in the local church, the dearest place on earth.
