God is enough like us to understand our problems and enough above us to be able to solve them.

God supplies the needs of His people according to their needs but does not ordinarily allow stockpiling.

Giving works best when the Lord's portion is removed first and believers learn to live within the remainder.

God wanted Israel, as He wants Christians, to learn to utterly abhor and detest anything that had the potential of coming between them and their God. The believer's enemies are typically internal rather than external, and they pose a powerful threat to spiritual health and progress.

Although God's people find many successes in the world, they must not fall prey to a spirit of pride. We succeed not because of our moral superiority but because of the faithfulness of our divine intercessor and because of the great mercy of God.

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

Conversion is essential, but it is a beginning, not an end. The believer in Jesus Christ is not simply rescued from the penalty of his sin; he is redeemed to love God and his neighbor so that others might come to know him.
