Faith enables us to obey when obedience is costly or seems unreasonable to the natural mind.

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

God’s plan and His ways of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when we don’t understand.

God will never allow any action against you that is not in accord with His will for you. And His will is always directed to our good.

Every day God patiently bears with us, and every day we are tempted to become impatient with our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. And our faults and failures before God are so much more serious than the petty actions of others that tend to irritate us! God calls us to graciously bear with the weaknesses of others, tolerating them and forgiving them even as He has forgiven us.

God is worthy of my loving obedience because of who He is, not because of what he does.

Faith in Christ and a reliance on ourselves, even to the smallest degree, are mutually exclusive.
