Contrary to popular opinion, the most important characteristic of a godly mother is not her relationship with her children. It is her love for her husband. The love between husband and wife is the real key to a thriving family. A healthy home environment cannot be built exclusively on the parents' love for their children. The properly situated family has marriage at the center; families shouldn't revolve around the children.

It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior.

You say you do not know what God's will is, but I'll tell you what it is. Above all it is that you know Christ and then that your neighbors hear about Christ. That is His will. So often we sit around twiddling our thumbs, dreaming about God's will in some distant future when we are not even willing to stand up on our own two feet, walk down the street, and do God's will right now.

I am a free man, the slave of Christ.

Nothing in the Christian life is more important than forgiveness-our forgiveness of others and God's forgiveness of us.

The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.

You can’t confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.
