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

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

The secret of the gospel is that we actually do more when we hear less about all we need to do for God and hear more about all that God has already done for us.

You can think too highly of your interpretations of Scripture, but you cannot think too highly of Scriptures interpretation of itself. You can exaggerate your authority in handling the Scriptures, but you cannot exaggerate the Scriptures authority to handle you. You can use the word of God to come to wrong conclusions, but you cannot find any wrong conclusions in the word of God.

As the culture war rages on, Lord give us wisdom to see the difference between defending our rights and protesting our slights.

The world needs to see Christians burning, not with self-righteous fury at the sliding morals in our country, but with passion for God.

So go marry someone, provided you're equally yoked and you actually like being with each other. Go get a job, provided it's not wicked. Go live somewhere in something with somebody or nobody. But put aside the passivity and the quest for complete fulfillment and the perfectionism and the preoccupation with the future, and for God's sake start making some decisions in your life. Don't wait for the liver-shiver. If you are seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, you will be in God's will, so just go out and do something.
