God teaches us to love by putting some unlovely people around us.

God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it.

God does not want you to become a God; he wants you to become godly - taking on his values, attitudes, and character.

Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. What is ironic today is that people often have strong convictions about weak issues (football, fashion, etc.) while having weak convictions about major issues (what is right and what is wrong).

What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.

While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.

After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
