Trust in God’s Word instead of your circumstances, encourage one another instead of being a burden, and hold fast to the unfailing promises of God, even when His plan for your life is hard to understand.

The Christian should not desire public approval but God’s favor; should not grumble but live with gratitude; nor should they just shun unbelievers, but instead should seek to wisely use every opportunity afforded to them to point unbelievers to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Even in the midst of the fiercest storms of life, God remains sovereign, His purposes remain good, and His Word will most assuredly come to pass.

In the storms of life, Christians are to trust in God's sovereign purposes, take faithful action, and courageously bear witness to their God. Knowing that such courage may embolden others to follow their lead.

Even in the midst of the fiercest storms of life, Christians can look to the hope they have in Jesus Christ, know that God will sustain them until they complete the work He has prepared for them, and rest in full confidence that their God will keep every promise He has made.

The Christian life is marked by the blessing of Christian friendship, the courage to offer wise advice to others for their own good, and the faithfulness to pray for those who reject that wise advice.

The faithful servant of Christ under pressure is reasonable in speech, radical in witness, and relentlessness in persuasion, in light of the glory of Christ.

The Christian life is one that speaks up for the voiceless, judges without partiality, and defends without hesitation those who cannot defend themselves.

Although the pomp, and power, and prestige of this world will all fade away, the Gospel of Jesus Christ will endure, advance, and prevail; therefore, as God’s people, we must boldly proclaim it and live in a manner worthy of it before the world around us.

Though evil men may delay justice, twist the truth, or seek your harm, our sovereign God providentially works through every circumstance to advance His kingdom and to accomplish His will.
