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

To know God and to find one's full satisfaction in that knowledge is the ultimate goal of Christian experience. The Lord's greatest delight comes when His people discover the ultimate value lies in the knowledge of God. Nothing in the material world can complete with the delights that are present in His Person.

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

A concern for doctrinal purity should always be based on love of the Lord, not a desire to express spiritual pride.

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

God is not naïve in the giving of His laws; He anticipates our disobedience even as He commands our obedience.

Spiritual leadership ought to be given to those who have proven themselves under stress.
