The fundamental deception of Satan is the lie that obedience can never bring happiness.

Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.

No one was ever called by God to greater suffering than God's only begotten Son.

To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.

Even the slightest sin is an act of cosmic treason.

To focus our mind on the task at hand-with fierce concentration-m akes for a productive use of time.

The Christian life is to live all of your life in the presence of God.
