This is Christmas - the God of Justice lays down his riches and comes to us, so that we might return back to Him.

When you offer to God only your scraps and leftovers, it exposes the fact that your heart is far from Him. But because He is King, He deserves all of your worship and devotion.

Whether you are in exile or in the promised land, incline your heart towards the Lord always. That is where contentment is found.

Christians are committed to integrating and holding together truth and love. Check your heart; are you devoted to the truth because it is the most loving or simply because it fits into your political leaning? It is possible to hold the right value with the wrong heart and therefore be wrong.

The Christian life is about learning to submit more and more to the Lord Jesus Christ, and bowing your knee to Him, who is far above all rulers and authorities and powers.

God has saved you. Therefore, like little children be imitators of God, your Loving Father. When you day by day love and trust God as Father, you will begin to look more like your Father and less like the world around you.

The Christian life is not primarily about putting off old vices, it is about putting on the new self, created after the likeness of Christ.

To be a mature Christian means to be steady at the wheel and to have one aim at one person - Jesus Christ.

A tree will only grow to the extent that the roots deepen; the same is true for the Christian life. Let the gospel take root in Your life and you will begin to grasp the unfathomable love of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Christian, take heart. Nothing comes to you but by the hand of God. The hardship you experience isn’t random, it serves a purpose.
