Preach The Gospel To Yourself Every Day.

We Could Not Take One Step In The Pursuit Of Holiness If God In His Grace Had Not First Delivered Us From The Dominion Of Sin And Brought Us Into Union With His Risen Son. Salvation Is By Grace And Sanctification Is By Grace.

Many Christians Have What We Might Call A 'cultural Holiness.' They Adapt To The Character And Behavior Pattern Of Christians Around Them...but God Has Not Called Us To Be Like Those Around Us. He Has Called Us To Be Like Himself. Holiness Is Nothing Less Than Conformity To The Character Of God.

Three Means By Which God Assures Us That We Do Have Eternal Life: 1. The Promises Of His Word, 2. The Witness Of The Spirit In Our Hearts, 3. The Transforming Work Of The Spirit In Our Lives.

Trials Always Change Our Relationship With God. Either They Drive Us To Him, Or They Drive Us Away From Him. The Extent Of Our Fear Of Him And Our Awareness Of His Love For Us Determine In Which Direction We Will Move.

Some Days We May Be More Acutely Conscious Of Our Sinfulness And Hence More Aware Of Our Need Of His Grace, But There Is Never A Day When We Can Stand Before Him On Our Own Two Feet Of Performance, When We Are Worthy Enough To Deserve His Blessing.
