No one can hate you in this life more than Jesus was hated.

If you find yourself mistreated, misunderstood, and mocked as a Christian, take heart, for so they did to the Christ.

Sooner could a fish live upon a tree than the wicked in Paradise.

The only chains God wants us to wear are the chains of righteousness--not the chains of hopeless subjectivism, not the shackles of risk-free living, not the fetters of horoscope decision making--just the chains befitting a bond servant of Christ Jesus. Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God's glory.

Busyness does not mean you are a faithful or fruitful Christian. It only means you are busy, just like everyone else.

Our first love is Jesus. Holiness is not ultimately about living up to a moral standard. It's about living in Christ and living out of our real, vital union with him.

The best way to leave a legacy is to believe, teach, defend, and promote what is true.
