The Bible alone is the only authority that can bind the conscience of a person absolutely because it is the only authority that carries with it the intrinsic authority of God Himself.

The Spirit always communicates that He's for you when He convicts you of your sin.

Without God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.

What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?

To be known by God is the highest goal of human existence.

The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.

Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
