We find comfort in a God of mercy who punishes us infinitely less than our sins deserve....

Sin discourages us from looking at its horrors closely....

To freely confess that we are the most despicable moral creatures on earth encourages us to hold on to Christ as our only hope....

It takes diligence in tending to our spiritual health to keep the weeds from choking out the fruit....

Be careful that your appetite for sanctification doesn’t sour the taste of Christ....

What I really want is that true healing that only can come from a clean conscience and an honest heart....

Even if we are externally doing the “right things,” we might find sin lurking in the motives and attitudes of the heart....

Despite all their sins, God uses his people to accomplish great and wonderful things....

If the root of sin is cleansed, the fruit that we bear will be pure as well. ...
