Because God is sovereign, He is able to answer. Because He is faithful to His promises, He will answer.

God does not delight in our sufferings. He brings only that which is necessary, but He does not shrink from that which will help us grow.

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

Uncontrolled temper is soon dissipated on others. Resentment, bitterness, and self-pity build up inside our hearts and eat away at our spiritual lives like a slowly spreading cancer.

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

The solution to staying on the right side of the fine line between using and abusing grace is repentance. The road to repentance is godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly sorrow is developed when we focus on the true nature of sin as an offense against God rather than something that makes us feel guilty.

Nothing cuts the nerve of the desire to pursue holiness as much as a sense of guilt. On the contrary, nothing so motivates us to deal with sin in our lives as does the understanding and application of the two truth that our sins are forgiven and the dominion of sin is broken because of our union with Christ.
