When you are converted, you want to do what you didn't want to do before, and you don't want to do what you wanted to do before. There's a change in the heart; there's a cleaning up, a change in orientation, and holiness becomes attractive, instead of something you have to put up with to figure out what you can get away with. As long as young people are asking, 'Can I get away with this?' or 'Can I get away with that?' I wonder if they're regenerate. If they're asking, instead, 'How can I grow in holiness?' then I suspect they've begun to understand.

Damn all false dichotomies to hell

Prayer is God's appointed means for appropriating the blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus.

The Bible is not interested in precisionism unless the context indicates that precision is particularly important.

The way to be anxious about nothing is to be prayerful about everything.

The more clearly we see sins horror, the more we shall treasure the cross.

A wrong understanding is interested in precisionism. That is it tries to say that the Bible can't be telling the truth if it says that Jesus was such and such a distance from some place or other and in fact the distance is off by 15% or something like that. There are all kinds of grounded figures and so forth.
