Even when we have reason to doubt our own abilities, we are called to put our faith in God.

Since Jesus is the way that God provides, love demands that we not pretend there are other ways but proclaim him as the One to put your faith in.

We can only require what God commands, and among those commands is this: Do not quarrel over disputable matters.

Without sacrificing one iota of his glory, God perfectly balances every measure of mercy and consequence.

Explaining what blesses us and honors God is a sweet provision of his grace.

When we forgive as we have been forgiven, we radiate Christ’s love and experience it.

So counter-intuitive are so many aspects of the gospel that we require the work of the Holy Spirit to understand God’s grace.

Covenant love gives people security despite their sin, a foundation to start over again, and a willingness to forgive for the sake of another.

We are free to seek change according to just means, but our goal is always to advance God’s kingdom in God’s ways.

Our good works do not make us right with a holy God, but because his grace makes us holy, we can do good works that honor him and bless others.
