We Christians should know that our unchristian conduct cannot be kept in our own back yard. The evil birds of sin fly far and influence many to their everlasting loss. The sin committed in the privacy of the home will have its effect in the assembly of the saints. The minister, the deacon, the teacher who yields to temptation in secret becomes a carrier of moral disease whether he knows it or not. The church will be worse because one member sins. The polluted stream flows out and on, growing wider and darker as it affects more and more persons day after day and year after year.

A sinful act involves worship of the wrong kind, submitting ourselves at that moment to serve the appetites of our pride or lust, and so repentance is literally a transfer of our worship back to the One who rightfully owns it..... Worship has been misunderstood as something that arises from a feeling which "comes upon you," but it is vital that we understand that it is rooted in a conscious act of the will, to serve and obey the Lord Jesus Christ. The feelings, the joy of having been forgiven, follow on as a consequence of our reunion with him.

Changing the human heart and changing human society are not separate tasks, but are as interconnected as the two beams of the cross.

Psalm 23 says The Lord is my Shepherd, which means you are a sheep. The Bible says that He is the Potter and we are the clay, which means you are the clay, not the potter, it is not your job to shape you and it is not your job to lead you. It is your job to be dependent on the Potter and upon the Shepherd, upon the Comforter, and upon the One who leads you. Your job is to be led.  

Matthew Henry

Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.

It is not the task of Christianity to provide easy answers to every question, but to make us progressively aware of a mystery. God is not so much the object of our knowledge as the cause of our wonder.

Dann Farrelly

Listing God's attributes is helpful, but the danger in doing so is that we conceive of God as being made up of different parts (attributes). We are then tempted to play the parts against each other: His love against His justice, His goodness against His wrath. It’s more accurate to say wherever we “slice” God, we get all of His attributes in all their totality. They cannot be separated.

Remember: whatever you choose to think will build physical structures in your brain. Toxic thoughts build toxic structures and toxic habits which will impact your mental and physical health that’s why it’s so important to live a self-regulated life. Check in with your thoughts, question them, and choose what to accept!

It was anger that caused Moses to miss God’s highest for his own life. When Moses struck the rock in anger (see Num. 20), it was a distortion of the glory of God. Moses misrepresented God as one who is easily angered. Amazingly, the water flowed irrespective of Moses’ anger; however, he was refused the privilege of entering the Promised Land with the people whom he had led. It is important to note that Moses did not lose his salvation—he appears later on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus (see Matt. 17:3), but he lost the opportunities and privileges that were part of his earthly inheritance.

We don’t have to have all the answers. We just have to stay connected to the One who does.
