A healthy relationship with God is built on the internal changes He brings about through Christ.

Attachments to older forms of worship may be comfortable, but they may contain elements of falsehood that make them unacceptable to God.

The wise Christian will learn from the spiritual blunders of others.

The concept of freedom in Scripture differs from modern notions. Freedom is not a life lived free of restraints but a life that recognizes healthy limits, those that are concern to produce prosperity and order for the person who observes them.

God ought to be given the choice portion of our wealth and not its dregs.

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

We dare not trim stones to make God an altar, for if we do we ruin everything. We would spend time bringing people to the altar and saying, "Look at those beautiful stones we trimmed!" We merely need to accept the work that God has done for us in Christ. The object of His restrictions is to help us see how wonderful He is and to spend the rest of our lives rendering true worship to Him.
