We don't honor just to get a reward; we honor because it is the heart of God, and it is our delight.

True honor is an outflow from a heart that fears God.

We are like horses that must be broken; basically that one should submit to a pastor even if he is wrong.

True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

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.

Often God will send us what we need in a package we don't want. Why? To let us know He's God and we cannot second-guess Him. We cannot search for answers merely with our heads; we must seek Him and His provision with our hearts. Scripture cannot be interpreted from our limited human mental understanding. There must be a breath of the Spirit of God. He alone gives wise counsel and correct application.
