As born-again Christians, it should be our delight and devotion to be studying the Word of God, knowing that as our Bible intake goes, so goes our spiritual health and vitality in our pursuit of holiness.
As new creations in Christ, we are to set aside fleshliness and pursue a lifestyle that builds up the body of Christ.
As servants of Christ, we must combat ungodly thinking with the truth.
Through His grace and compassion for mankind, God invites us all to come to Him! Those who respond to His call and repent will be supernaturally transformed through His Word and experience God's joy and peace forever.
Christmas provides us with a wonderful opportunity to be reminded of and apply ourselves to giving to God what He desires most from us, and what He Himself made possible by the giving of His own Beloved Son.
Our diligent and relentless pursuit of personal holiness is beneficial for personal growth, and also inevitably leads to preserving the Gospel unity that Christ died to establish.
If we're going to preserve Gospel unity in the church, we should strive to daily contemplate not only Christ's humiliation at His Incarnation, but also His glorious exaltation to the right hand of the Father.
Our ongoing, heartfelt, gazing upon the glory Christ in His Incarnation, is a sure antidote against the deadly sin of pride, and what propels us to a life of greater humility and loving service toward others, following the supreme example of our Lord.
Our experience of God's lavish Grace humbles us as believers, so that we are able, then, to adopt a selfless and considerate approach in our inter-personal relationships, for God's Glory and the Good of our brethren.
As citizens of a Heavenly Kingdom, we must walk worthy of the great calling with which we have been called, for the greater progress of the Gospel of our King.
Our gracious Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, has given us loving and truthful instructions for engaging sin in the church in a restorative manner, which ultimately puts the beauty of the Gospel on display.

To persevere during crisis, the believer must recognize their difficulty, respond with dependence on God, and realize their duties as His child.
Any human conception of the nature of God will be insufficient. As followers of Christ, believers in the One True and Most High God, our lifelong pursuit is to understand as much as we can about His character and respond in humble worship.
Christians with a Kingdom Perspective are sold out for Gospel Progress whether they live or die, longing to be with Christ, yet resolved to bear much fruit for Him while on this earth for Christ's Glory.
When our eyes are fixed on God’s kingdom, our perspective of our trials, be they relational or circumstantial, will be that they lead to greater gospel progress.
The more that we cherish the Gospel of our Savior, the more that as Christians we will look to leverage our beautiful partnership in this Gospel to fulfill our Mission for the glory of Christ and the good of others.
As the result of a Gospel-Fueled, Gospel-Transformed Life, we are to reject the world’s conception of so-called love, and instead strive to display Christlike love for God and others.
An attitude of gratitude is fueled by the Gospel, and finds very tangible expression in the lives of God’s people, by God’s Grace.
