Striving to rest

Faith is a believing obedience, a surrender to the lordship of Christ Jesus, the beginning of a life of obedience to the one and only King.

Suffering for Jesus does not mark us as under God's displeasure; suffering enables us to share in Christ!

The exact imprint of God's nature welcomes us… and expects us… to be changed by his grace so that we are an imitation of God's holiness?!

The greatest blessing we receive from walking faithfully with God is the confidence of his presence, in good times and bad.

Sometimes, we may feel like our world has been "rocked", but if God is our Rock, our foundations for life will not crumble, for he is eternal.

The written Word of God gives life.

We must simply surrender ourselves to God, be faithful in serving him, and be patient as God works to accomplish his plan in our lives.

The secret to continuing spiritual victory and vitality is ongoing training in godliness.

God knows when we are playing at "religion" and he is not happy when our worship is false.

Religion does not and cannot ever save us from sinfulness before God, but our practices in living a holy life are "religious" activities.
