God Never Allows Pain Without A Purpose.

Preach The Gospel To Yourself Every Day.

God's Grace Is Not Given To Make Us Feel Better, But To Glorify Him... Good Feelings May Come, Or They May Not, But That Is Not The Issue. The Issue Is Whether Or Not We Honor God By The Way We Respond To Our Circumstances.

God Intends That Everyone Who Has Embraced The Gospel Become A Part Of The Great Enterprise Of Spreading The Gospel.

Modern Christians, Especially Those In The Western World, Have Generally Been Found Wanting In The Area Of Holiness Of Body. Gluttony And Laziness, For Example, Were Regarded By Earlier Christians As Sin. Today We May Look On These As Weaknesses Of The Will But Certainly Not Sin. We Even Joke About Our Overeating And Other Indulgences Instead Of Crying Out To God In Confession And Repentance.

God's Word Must Be So Strongly Fixed In Our Minds That It Becomes The Dominant Influence In Our Thoughts, Our Attitudes, And Our Actions. One Of The Most Effective Ways Of Influencing Our Minds Is Through Memorizing Scripture. David Said, "i Have Hidden Your Word In My Heart That I Might Not Sin Against You" (psm. 119:11).
