We [should not] make the mistake of thinking that marriage will provide the ultimate satisfaction for which we all hunger. To assume so would be to be guilty of blasphemy. Only God satisfies the hungry heart. Marriage is but one of the channels He uses to enable us to taste how deeply satisfying His thirst-quenching grace can be.

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

You must know, rest in, think through, and act upon your new identity - you are in Christ

There is nothing more important to learn about Christian growth than this: Growing in grace means becoming like Christ.
