We dare not trim stones to make God an altar, for if we do we ruin everything. We would spend time bringing people to the altar and saying, "Look at those beautiful stones we trimmed!" We merely need to accept the work that God has done for us in Christ. The object of His restrictions is to help us see how wonderful He is and to spend the rest of our lives rendering true worship to Him.

Our lives will last as long as God has something for us to do.

Only people of proven character should be placed in positions of spiritual leadership.

Christians must allow no unclean thing to interfere with a harmonious relationship with Christ.

False teaching - anything that would weaken the believer's ties to his Lord - must be confronted wherever it appears, even if that confrontation requires painful correction.

The most blessed gift that God can give any person is a knowledge of Himself.

Christians should be among those who speak loudest in defense of civil liberties and the protection of the weak.
