Some of us live a Christian life as if we're always under the stern, watchful eye of our Father and he is very impossible to please... No, God delights even in our heartfelt attempts at obedience.

To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

God is the heavenly father.

Do not forget the Heavenly Father.

The mystery of the Christian life is that Christ expects us to flee sin and the devil, but does not expect us to rid ourselves of either on this side of glory. Repentance is a way of life, and so is the pursuit of godliness. I wish every Christian could be reminded of these two things.

The world needs to see Christians burning, not with self-righteous fury at the sliding morals in our country, but with passion for God.
