Time is given us to use in view of eternity.
If what they are saying about you is true, mend your ways. If it isn't true, forget it, and go on and serve the Lord.
No one ever lost out by excessive devotion to Christ.
The Christian life is never static. One must either grow in grace, or there will be backsliding and deterioration.
Christ is a substitute for everything, but nothing is a substitute for Christ.
Grace is the very opposite of merit... Grace is not only undeserved favor, but it is favor, shown to the one who has deserved the very opposite.
