God is sovereign.
Satan is active.
Man is sinful.

We can’t love one another apart from Christ.

Discipleship is a life in life relationship.

Sin likes to stay hidden but the more it’s brought out into the light and the more we share it with others, the less power it holds.

We should share their good news with others as though it is our good news. Because the truth is, it is.

“Our community with one another consists solely in what Christ has done to both of us.”
- D. Bonhoeffer

“…you need Christian friendships and they need you as well.”

When we seek God’s will, we need to be careful that, deep down, we aren’t just trying to figure out how to get our own will. We need humility to live out our purpose as Christians.

Are you ever tempted to fix your mind on trials and trouble and to forget the goodness of God?

please, Tolkien, get to the point of the story. 🙈

Kindness is tender toward others, but anger can harden us against them. And it often overflows in harshness.

Our patience can be a light that illuminates the Savior’s love for a people walking in darkness.

Peace is for those who trust God, and those who trust God will have peace.

Joy is inevitable as we focus on the actual source of joy.

Without the Spirit…Love becomes a matter of preference or performance.

We flourish not by our own achievements, but by abiding in Jesus.

Eeyore…stood by the side of the stream and looked at himself in the water. “Pathetic,” He said. “That’s what it is. Pathetic.”

Winnie the Pooh…had to hurry home for a little snack of something to sustain him.

Life and joy will defeat death and despair.

When we understand that we deserve salvation no more than the reprobate do, we will be in awe that God has redeemed us.

One day in fact, we will see the glorious face of God, but that cannot happen until all sun has been removed from us.
