We Obey God's Law, Not To Be

We Are 100 Percent Responsible For The Pursuit Of Holiness, But At The Same Time We Are 100 Percent Dependent Upon The Holy Spirit To Enable Us In That Pursuit. The Pursuit Of Holiness Is Not A Pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps Approach To The Christian Life.

Preach The Gospel To Yourself Every Day.

Because Peace Is A Fruit Of The Spirit, We Are Dependent Upon The Spirit's Work In Our Lives To Produce The Desire And The Means To Pursue Peace. But We Are Also Responsible To Use The Means He Has Given Us And To Take All Practical Steps To Attain Both Peace Within And Peace With Others.

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

We Must Allow The Bible To Say What Is Says, Not What We Think It Ought To Say.
