Not only is holiness the goal of your redemption, it is necessary for your redemption

No matter how long we have been walking with Jesus, we need to hear again, do not love the world.

The next time someone tells you, "The Church is full of a bunch of hypocrites." You can respond, "You don't even know the half of it."

My fear is that of all the choices people face today, the one they rarely consider is, "How can I serve most effectively and fruitfully in the local church?" I wonder if the abundance of opportunities to explore today is doing less to help make well-rounded disciples of Christ and more to help Christians avoid long term responsibility and have less long-term impact.

Some of us live a Christian life as if we're always under the stern, watchful eye of our Father and he is very impossible to please... No, God delights even in our heartfelt attempts at obedience.

Sincere biblical repentance is as much a work of grace as not sinning in the first place. To err is human, to make progress is divine.

Those trapped in sin will not normally thank you for pointing out the darkness in their lives.
