Common sense religion emphasizes the human contributions that are supposed to move the deity. Valid worship always begins with recognition of what God has already done.

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

An enriched capacity for rejoicing is an expanded capacity for worship.

Spiritual leadership ought to be given to those who have proven themselves under stress.

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.

Love is one factor - but not the only on - that God uses to promote the permanence of the marriage bond.

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.
