God's love does not depend on the current spiritual condition of those He loves.

God's Word calls His people to adore Him exclusively and completely and to love people as themselves.

The heart that delights in God and longs only to see His glory advance will seldom be conscious of sacrifice. God in His wisdom asks that we first love Him and then live in keeping with that core value. He does not want His people to think of what they do as sacrificial, even though from the world's point of view it may be just that. Gratitude for grace of God will always be found near the center of the Biblical Christian's most powerful motivations.

When shame is missing from corporate life, society, quickly becomes uncivilized.

A healthy relationship with God is built on the internal changes He brings about through Christ.

Since the success of believers is tied to our knowledge of and obedience to God's Word, the memorizing of portions of the Bible is advisable.

Sometimes believers are hampered in their public effectiveness by limitations that are no fault of their own.
