When believers neglect the revealed Word of God, they are likely to turn to silly and unprofitable methods of insight.

Fear of God and love for God coexist happily in the heart of people who are rightly related to Him.

Celebration is best done in the company of others who can rejoice with us over God's goodness.

Conversion engages the mind as well as the emotions.

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.

The thoughtful believer recalls God's faithfulness in the past when confronted by any new threat. Part of spiritual maturity is strong sense of one's own history.

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