The Bible says children are a blessing, but even Christians often choose to view them as burdens. What other blessing do we seek to postpone and minimize? And yet, when it comes to children, Christians often choose to have fewer of them and to have them later in life.

Children are not just blessings, they are weapons. A father and mother are blessed when they have multiple children in their youth, and raise these children to fight on the Lord’s side.

It is quite possible to do the right thing, but still be in sin. Romans 14:23 says, “For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.” So what does it mean to do something “IN FAITH”?

Jesus is NOT the author of sugar and spice and everything nice. You cannot manufacture your own “preferred” Jesus. We are to be conformed into HIS likeness, not the other way around. If we truly desire to possess Christ, we must have the RIGHT Christ and the WHOLE Christ.

If God begins a work, he will carry it out to completion.

It’s easy to love people “collectively” in “theory,” but the true test of biblical love is actually loving people “individually” in “practice.”
