Courage is the most fundamental of all virtues.

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

The health of marriage and the health of society are bound together; as one goes, so goes the other.

God expects believers to improve their attitude in giving as well as their giving itself.

Moses warned them [Israelites] that the leading spiritual danger they would face on entering the [promise] land would be forgetting the Lord. What adversity would not do, prosperity and satisfaction could. They were to be on their guard against spiritual lethargy.

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

The heart that delights in God and longs only to see His glory advance will seldom be conscious of sacrifice. God in His wisdom asks that we first love Him and then live in keeping with that core value. He does not want His people to think of what they do as sacrificial, even though from the world's point of view it may be just that. Gratitude for grace of God will always be found near the center of the Biblical Christian's most powerful motivations.
