Do you require yourself to remember? In order to live as you can and should, you first must remember who you are and what you’ve been given.

We rarely do anything with on single motive.

Sin is powerful, but not as powerful as the liberating power of grace.

God is the ultimate musician. His music transforms your life. The notes of redemption rearrange your heart and restore your life. His songs of forgiveness, grace, reconciliation, truth, hope, sovereignty, and love give you back your humanity and restore your identity.

Love is willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that the person being loved is deserving

If you don't keep the eyes of your heart focused on the paradise that is to come, you will try to turn this poor fallen world into the paradise it will never be.

When Christ is my hope, he becomes the one thing in which I have confidence. I act on his wisdom and bank on his grace. I trust his promises and I rely on his presence. And I pursue all the good things that he has promised me simply because I trust him. So, I am not manipulating, controlling, or threatening my way through life to get what I want, because I have found what I want in Christ. He is my hope.
