I know that I am floating on the benefit of other people. I do not deserve the blessings that I've gotten.

I'm definitely not postmillennial. And I do not believe in bringing in the Kingdom by human means, in no sense of the matter.

In our competitive world we're taught to never quit trying, never give up, and never give in - so we don't hear much about surrendering. If winning is everything, surrendering is unthinkable. Even Christians would rather talk about winning, succeeding, overcoming, and conquering than yielding, submitting, obeying, and surrendering. But surrendering to God is the heart of worship.

Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.

If you're losing the battle against a persistent bad habit, an addiction, or a temptation, and you're stuck in a repeating cycle of good intention-failure-guilt, you will not get better on your own. You need the help of other people. Some temptations are only overcome with the help of a partner who prays for you, encourages you, and holds you accountable.

At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
