Persecution is the branding mark of Christ's slaves. True Christians will be persecuted. Through it all, grace sustains.

Israel has not been replaced by the church. Supersessionism must be rejected. God has a future for Isarel.

Our external actions and our religious deeds are worthless if separated form a heart joyfully devoted to and delighting in God. Joy is the remedy for the sickness of legalism.

When we consider all of that was accomplished on the cross, it causes us to glory in Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Legalism is motivated by keeping appearances, avoiding persecution, and boasting. It is cured through delight in Christ.

To be a Christian is to belong to a new family. Our priority in doing good should be for other Christians.

Doing good and living right can be discouraging and defeating. The key to not losing heart is beholding the glory of Christ.

True followers of Jesus die to self and follow him.

We cannot live as if God is inconsequential. He has ordered this world so that what we sow, we will reap.

Those who preach, should earn their living by preaching. Churches are responsible to provide for their pastor.
