The Purpose Of God's Discipline Is Not To Punish Us But To Transform Us.

Because God Is Sovereign, He Is Able To Answer. Because He Is Faithful To His Promises, He Will Answer.

God In His Love Always Wills What Is Best For Us. In His Wisdom He Always Knows What Is Best, And In His Sovereignty He Has The Power To Bring It About.

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.

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