Patience is the ability to suffer a long time under the mistreatment of others without growing resentful or bitter.

Evil Rulers Are Never Beyond The Bounds of God's Sovereign Will

Every day is important for us because it is a day ordained by God. If we are bored with life there is something wrong with our concept of God and His involvement in our daily lives. Even the most dull and tedious days of our lives are ordained by God and ought to be used by us to glorify Him.

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

We obey God's Law, not to be loved but because we are loved in Christ.

Perhaps we should stop talking about being faithful to have a quiet time with God each day, as if we were doing something to earn a reward. It would be better to talk about the privilege of spending time with the God of the universe and the importance for our own sake of being consistent in that practice.

We need to call sin what the Bible calls it and not soften it with modern expressions borrowed from our culture.
