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

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

Rejoicing is the essence of genuine worship. A sad face (apart from remorse for sin or regret concerning the pain of others) is an affront to a gracious and generous God.

Some believers tend to forget God's persistent faithfulness in the face of the spectacular and showy.

God realizes His people need protection from the pains and heartaches of the world.

False teaching - anything that would weaken the believer's ties to his Lord - must be confronted wherever it appears, even if that confrontation requires painful correction.

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