Every day that we're not practicing godliness we're being conformed to the world of ungodliness around us.

There is no point in praying for victory over temptation if we are not willing to make a commitment to say no to it.

We might say God's wrath is His justice in action, rendering to everyone his just due, which, because of our sin is always judgment.

Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love.

God’s love to us cannot fail any more than His love to Christ can fail.

If we are going to learn to trust God in adversity, we must believe God will allow nothing to subvert His glory so He will allow nothing to spoil the good He is working out in us and for us.

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.
