We were not saved from our sin simply so that we would qualify for heaven. God delivered us so we would have a relationship with Him through which He could carry out His mission to redeem a lost world.

You cannot go with God and stay where you are.

The essence of sin is a shift from God centeredness to a self-centeredness. The essence of salvation is a denial of self, not an affirming of self.

A test of your love for God is to examine your love for others.

God's commands are designed to guide you to life's very best.

If you have been given a word from God, you must continue in that direction until it comes to pass (even twenty five years like Abraham).

Teach yourself to thankfully receive all that God gives you as evidence of His love and faithfulness, and then you'll find it easier to trust Him next time.
