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

What we do in public determines our reputation; what we do in private determines our character.

By definition, if man contributes anything toward acceptance by God, he loses everything. God expects man to be the recipient, not the originator. Jesus paid it all, not 99% of it. Paul wrote, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast"

Celebration is best done in the company of others who can rejoice with us over God's goodness.

In God's pattern of justice, He takes the risk of the guilty going free but not the innocent being punished.

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.

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