Although the world places a premium on the latest things, some realities are discovered by looking into the past.

God chose Israel not because they were superior but because of what He could do through them for others.

Conversion is essential, but it is a beginning, not an end. The believer in Jesus Christ is not simply rescued from the penalty of his sin; he is redeemed to love God and his neighbor so that others might come to know him.

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

Prosperity is often the enemy of spiritual development.

The Lord longs to exalt His people as trophies of His work in them.

Common sense religion emphasizes the human contributions that are supposed to move the deity. Valid worship always begins with recognition of what God has already done.
