God delights in providing His people with material gain and comfort, although prosperity can pose a threat to spiritual well-being.

While catastrophes do enter the lives of godly people, they attach themselves far more to people who reject Him.

The task of evangelism often involves preparing an open road so offenders can find their refuge in Christ.

Mental confusion can be the product of divine discipline.

God warned Israel, "And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it" (Ex. 20:25). To pollute something is to make it ordinary. God insists that any approach crafted by human ingenuity will produce a worship system just like all the pagan systems in the world. In other words, it will be common or profane - just like everyone else's paganism.
