How then can we deal with our tendency toward worldliness? It is not by determining that we will not be worldly, but by committing ourselves to becoming more godly.

God's sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.

Holiness is not a series of do’s and don’ts but conformity to the character of God and obedience to the will of God.

When God saves us through Christ, He not only saves us from the penalty of sin, but also from its dominion.

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

As we grow in the knowledge of God's holiness, even though we are growing in the practice of holiness, it seems the gap between our knowledge and our practice always gets wider. This is the Holy Spirit's way of drawing us to more and more holiness.

Grace stands in direct opposition to any supposed worthiness on our part. To say it another way: Grace and works are mutually exclusive. As Paul said in Romans 11:6, "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." Our relationship with God is based on either works or grace. There is never a works-plus-grace relationship with Him.
