Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of Biblical worship.

So saving grace, converting grace, for Augustine, is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. The will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.

Gratitude is the joy that arises in response to God’s good will toward us in all his gifts.

Wise people know that all their money belongs to God.

The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!

Whether sexual orientation can change or not, hearts can change and turn any sexual orientation into an occasion for the glory of Christ. Those with same-sex attraction glorify Christ through sexual abstinence and through the enrichment of significant Christ-exalting relationships in other ways.

Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
