No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.

The Holy Spirit makes us aware of our lack of holiness to stimulate us to deeper yearning and striving for holiness. But Satan will attempt to use the Holy Spirit’s work to discourage us.

If there is not at least a yearning in our hearts to live a holy life pleasing to God, we need to seriously question whether our faith in Christ is genuine.

The pursuit of holiness is a joint venture between God and the Christian. No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part.

Trusting God is not a matter of my feelings but of my will.

May we be as severe with ourselves over our own subtle sins as we are with the vile sins we condemn in others

A willingness to share our possessions with one another is a very important aspect of true biblical community.
