We cannot say no to temptation without saying yes to something far better.

God does not make our choices easier because temptation is his character development curriculum.

Faith is only as good as the object in which it is placed.

Money is emphasized in Scripture simply because our temptation to love it is inexplicably powerful.

God loves the world. Go thou and do likewise.

God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.

We must worship in truth. Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God. "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth" (Psm. 145:18). Worship that is not based on God's Word is but an emotional encounter with oneself.
