The Purpose Of God's Discipline Is Not

Holiness Is Nothing Less Than Conformity To The Character Of God

Grace Is The Love Of God Shown To The Unlovely. It Is God Reaching Downward To People Who Are In Rebellion Against Him.

God's Grace Is Not Given To Make Us Feel Better, But To Glorify Him... Good Feelings May Come, Or They May Not, But That Is Not The Issue. The Issue Is Whether Or Not We Honor God By The Way We Respond To Our Circumstances.

The Great Antidote To Anxiety Is To Come To God In Prayer. We Are To Pray About Everything. Nothing Is Too Big For Him To Handle, And Nothing Is Too Small To Escape His Attention.

We're More Concerned About Our Own "victory" Over Sin Than We Are About The Fact That Our Sins Grieve God's Heart.
