Blue Devils may have won today. Devil gonna lose tomorrow.

The worship of Christ is our joy and privilege today. And tomorrow, and next Sunday, and for all eternity.

The man who attempts Christianity without the church shoots himself in the foot, shoots his children in the leg, and shoots his grandchildren in the heart.

Why should we think that we wouldn't have a cross to carry? Are we somehow more deserving than our Lord?

To run hard after holiness is another way of running hard after God.

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.

Our God is righteous enough to judge and kind enough to forgive.
