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

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

What we say in private we must be willing to say with a heart burning with love and honor before the face of our leaders. If not, we will poison our spirits and it will manifest in the presence of our leaders.

Offended people still may experience miracles, words of utterance, strong preaching, and healing in their lives. But these are gifts of the Spirit, not fruits. We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated.

The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

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

Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.
