We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.

Bad theology will eventually hurt people and dishonor God in proportion to its badness.

The suffering of sickness and the suffering of persecution have this in common: they are both intended by Satan for the destruction of our faith, and governed by God for the purifying of our faith... Christ sovereignly accomplishes His loving, purifying purpose, by overruling Satan's destructive attempts. Satan is always aiming to destroy our faith; but Christ magnifies His power in weakness.

Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.

The main reason God has given us minds is that we might seek out and find all the reasons that exist for treasuring him in all things and above all things.

The Bible is the ultimate authority and infallible, not the pastor and not the elders. And it doesn't mean that you believe everything he says without examining it.

God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.
