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.

Fear of the right type can be beneficial to the people of God (see Prov. 1:7), but the fear of man's hostile intentions seldom fits that category.

Kindness that allows barriers to one's relationship with God to spring up is self-destructive.

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

God supplies the needs of His people according to their needs but does not ordinarily allow stockpiling.

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

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.
