If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.

We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.

What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.

If we have not seen our sin and sought radical forgiveness from God, we will be unable to forgive and to seek the good of those who have wronged us.

It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.

Not everyone is your brother or sister in the faith, but everyone is your neighbor, and you must love your neighbor.

Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
