Exposure to false doctrine places a person at risk not just for theological errors but for moral failure.

People are not free to violate law or convention to satisfy their wants and cravings.

Although God's people find many successes in the world, they must not fall prey to a spirit of pride. We succeed not because of our moral superiority but because of the faithfulness of our divine intercessor and because of the great mercy of God.

Before we can pray for God's blessing, we should ask ourselves if our disobedience could hinder his blessing.

The concept of freedom in Scripture differs from modern notions. Freedom is not a life lived free of restraints but a life that recognizes healthy limits, those that are concern to produce prosperity and order for the person who observes them.

Even guilty people deserve to be treated as those made in the image of God.

God demonstrates generosity, then asks it from His people.
