Some believe we have little or no role in our own Christian maturity. God does everything, they think, and we simply have to "let go and let God." After all, if it's the "fruit of the Spirit," we should passively let him work within us as we abide in Christ.

Men are not sent to hell because of being murderers or liars, they are sent to hell because they are unrighteous.

We can be encouraged knowing that our daily actions and words are declaring Christ to the world.

The Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.

Only a relationship with Christ can satisfy our hearts. Without Him we have nothing. With Him we have all things to enjoy.

If your mind is filled with the Word of God, then it can't be filled with impure thoughts.

God is love (1 John 4:8, 16) and God is sovereign (Acts 4:24). Those biblical truths must define our response to every circumstance in life.
