Trusting God is not a matter of my feelings but of my will.

All pain we experience is intended to move us closer to the goal of being holy as He is holy.

The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God

Lord, I am willing To receive what You give. To lack what You withhold. To relinquish what You take, To suffer what You inflict, To be what you require.

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

Jesus said, "Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:33). We must honestly face the question, "Am I willing to give up a certain practice or habit that is keeping me from holiness?" It is at this point of commitment that most of us fail. We prefer to dally with sin, to try to play with it a little without getting too deeply involved.

God intends that everyone who has embraced the gospel become a part of the great enterprise of spreading the gospel.
