Every day of our Christian experience should be a day of relating to God on the basis of His grace alone. We are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day.

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

Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.

The opposite of retaliation is to entrust ourselves to God, who judges justly.

Modern Christians, especially those in the Western world, have generally been found wanting in the area of holiness of body. Gluttony and laziness, for example, were regarded by earlier Christians as sin. Today we may look on these as weaknesses of the will but certainly not sin. We even joke about our overeating and other indulgences instead of crying out to God in confession and repentance.

We insist that God must surely lead everyone as we believe He has led us. We refuse to allow God the freedom to deal with each of us as individuals. When we think like that, we are legalistic.

Biblical community is first of all the sharing of a common life in Christ.
