Christ exhausted the cup of God’s wrath. For all who trust in Him there is nothing more in the cup. It is empty.

Prayer is the most tangible expression of trust in God. If we would trust God for our persecuted brothers and sisters in other countries, we must be diligent in prayer for their rulers. If we would trust God when decisions of government in our own country go against our best interests, we must pray for His working in the hearts of those officials and legislators who make those decisions. The truth that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord is meant to be a stimulus to prayer, not a stimulus to a fatalistic attitude.

Worship is the specific act of ascribing to God the glory, majesty, honor, and worthiness which are His.

We don't have to start all over again and try to keep the slate clean. There is no more slate.

Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life; he died to save us from the wrath of God.

Sometimes the end God has in mind is to exercise our faith, so He brings us into straitened circumstances so that we might look up to Him and see His deliverance.

We must allow the Bible to say what is says, not what we think it ought to say.
