Sanctification is not by surrender, but by divinely enabled toil and effort.

God's timing is rarely our timing.

When you share the gospel, you're not calling people to a better way of life, you're proclaiming to them eternal life.

Grace is free, but it's not cheap.

If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, then growing in our knowledge of God is always practical.

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.

Grace does not lead us to overlook obedience. Grace compels and empowers us for obedience.
