The true Christian is a communicator.

Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.

The dues of discipleship are high indeed, and how much we can take so often determines how much we can then give.

Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.

Ultimate hope and daily grumpiness are not reconcilable.

The truth is that not yet usually means never. Trying to run away from the responsibility to decide about Christ is childish. Pilate sought to refuse responsibility for deciding about Christ, but Pilate's hands were never dirtier than just after he had washed them.

. . . just as God cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance, as we become more like Him, neither can we. The best people have a heightened awareness of what little of the worst is still in them! Indeed, the divine discontent, the justifiable spiritual restlessness that we feel, is a natural follow-on feeling in the disciple who has taken the Lord's counsel to "make you a new heart and a new spirit." (Ezekiel 18:31.)
