No one can hate you in this life more than Jesus was hated.
Expecting perfection from ourselves or others is not what holiness is about.
Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.
If you make the goal of your life just to stay alive, you'll fail. If you make the goal of your life the kingdom, you cannot lose.
The goal of revelation is not information only, but affection, worship, and obedience. Christ in us will be realized only as we drink deeply of the Bible, which is God's word outside of us
