Trusting God means transferring our confidence and hope from ourselves to him, acknowledging that we have no ability in ourselves to live in a way that pleases him. Only he can change us by the power of his Spirit in us. This trust is manifested in a context of obedience in our lives to the biblical mandates God calls us to pursue. Training means acting upon that trust by doing things that help us rely upon God more and live out his desire for us.

Contrary to our culture, the Biblical doctrine of Grace humbles us without degrading us, and elevates us without inflating us.

Because of Christ, even our catastrophes have purpose. God is preparing our character for the time when we will see Him face to face.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who seek God and those who seek to avoid him... and both will be successful.

A person may forget 90% of what a leader says, but he will never forget how the leader lives.

Jesus' blood was shed for us all; what remains is for us to accept His sacrifice in faith and obedience.

When we see through the lens of God's truth, revealed primarily in his Word, everything comes into sharper focus. Suddenly, we'll see that everything is integrated and overlapping - that the world is not divided between the sacred and the secular, but there's one life, and God is the Master of all of it. God knows all things, past, present, and future, and is all-wise; when we train ourselves to see more as he sees, we'll pursue the things he values and seek to live before him as our primary audience.
