Godly fear, faith, and humility is the true threefold cord that can’t easily be broken (see Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Physical growth is a function of time. No two-year-old child has ever been six feet tall. Intellectual growth is a function of learning. Spiritual growth is neither a function of time or learning, but it is a function of obedience.

God is waiting to satisfy us, yet His goodness will not satisfy us if we are already full of other things.

When we oppose God's delegated authority, we oppose God Himself.
