A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience.

The way we live ought to manifest the truth of what we believe. A messy life speaks of a messy and incoherent faith.

There is something that pretends to be christianity which is mostly mood. The measure of its faith is merely the measure of its feeling.

The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.

We want to avoid suffering, death, sin, ashes. But we live in a world crushed and broken and torn, a world God Himself visited to redeem. We receive his poured-out life, and being allowed the high privilege of suffering with Him, may then pour ourselves out for others.
