Are you building up your house, or are you tearing it down? Your 'house' is the sphere of relationships that God has placed you in.

When God calls you to do something, He provides everything it takes to get it done.

Once we agree with God that we exist for His pleasure and His glory, we can accept whatever comes into our lives as a part of His sovereign will and purpose. We will not resent, resist, or reject the hard things, but embrace them as friends, sovereignly designed by God to make us more like Jesus and to bring glory to Himself.

Mark it down—your progress in holiness will never exceed your relationship with the holy Word of God.

Gratitude is a lifestyle. A hard-fought, grace-infused, biblical lifestyle.

Being disconnected from the local church, for whatever reason, is a dangerous way to live. Not only do these “ lone rangers” miss out on the blessings of functioning within the context of the body of Christ, but like lone sheep away from the safety of the flock and the watchful care of the shepherd, they are vulnerable to predators of every sort.

Again and again, God's Word reveals that He is not as concerned about the depth or extent of the sin we commit as He is about our attitude and response when we are confronted with our sin.
