For Jesus, Scripture is powerful, decisive, and authoritative because it is nothing less than the voice of God.

Being a child of God means confidence, but it never means complacency.

Holiness is the sum of a million little things — the avoidance of little evils and little foibles, the setting aside of little bits of worldliness and little acts of compromise, the putting to death of little inconsistencies and little indiscretions, the attention to little duties and little dealings, the hard work of little self-denials and little self-restraints, the cultivation of little benevolences and little forbearances.

Inerrancy means the word of God always stands over us and we never stand over the word of God.

The people on this planet who end up doing nothing are those who never realized they couldn't do everything.

Busyness kills more Christians than bullets.

Christians often equate holiness with activism and spiritual disciplines. And while it's true that activism is often the outgrowth of holiness and spiritual disciplines are necessary for the cultivation of holiness, the pattern of piety in the Scripture is more explicitly about our character. We put off sin and put on righteousness. We put to death the deeds of the flesh and put on Christ. To use the older language, we pursue mortification of the old man and the vivification of the new.
