The worship of false gods is always an outgrowth of spiritual deception.

Training leaders is part of the work of discipling.

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.

There is no limit to what God's people can expect their God to do if they are rightly related to Him.

God is not naïve in the giving of His laws; He anticipates our disobedience even as He commands our obedience.

Giving to God should come from the firstfruits of a person's labor rather than from what is left after the bills are paid.

Father, we ask that you give us a passion for the truth and not merely a hatred of falsehood. Keep us concerned for the spiritual health of people but open to your own rebukes from your mighty Word.
