Sanctification will be drudgery unless we believe that holiness is possible and that it is pleasing to God.
When busyness goes after joy, it goes after everyone's joy.
Expecting perfection from ourselves or others is not what holiness is about.
If we do not worship God, God will not be the lesser for it. But we will.
Just about everybody in America likes Jesus, but few like him for who he truly is.
God is not a magic eight ball we shake up and peer into whenever we have a decision to make. He is a good God who gives us brains, shows us the way of obedience, and invites us to take risks for him.
