God's guidance will require patience on our part. His leading is not usually a direct assurance, a revelation, but His sovereign controlling of the circumstances of our lives, with the Word of God as our rule. It is therefore, inevitable that the unfolding of His purposes will take time - sometimes a very long time.

Until we acknowledge our sin and guilt, we will never come to discover that it can be forgiven.

The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional ("I feel full of worship" or "The atmosphere is so worshipful"). Actually, it is theological. Worship is not something we "work up," it is something that "comes down" to us, from the character of God.

The conviction that Christian doctrine matters for Christian living is one of the most important growth points of the Christian life.

Those who are most conscious of forgiveness are invariably those who have been most acutely convicted of their sin.

The foundation of our love for the Lord lies in the recognition of His holiness, our sinfulness, and His grace.

Most Christians have more Bibles than they know what to do with, but have little understanding of what is in them.
