Nothing is more depressing or disheartening than death which means that nothing, absolutely nothing, can be more invigorating or encouraging than life.

The vanity of vanities for people in this world is that everything ends in death. Only God’s covenant promise of life through Jesus Christ can deliver his people from the vanity of death into the glory of life!

What marks Christians as people of the Spirit is not flashy displays of spirituality, but confession of Jesus’ lordship and gifts of service to His body.

Christian men and women each lovingly and selflessly embrace the design God has for them in regard to authority and submission, even as Christ submitted to His Father’s authority and the church submits to Christ’s.

Christians live to the glory of God by selflessly and lovingly prioritizing others’ eternal good over their freedoms.

There’s a real risk of eternally falling away from the faith for those unwilling to take heed of God’s warnings and flee idolatry.
