#BelongToChrist
“You must never give in to the idea to each his own saints. That's prevalent more than ever because we're not our own. I'm not my own. I belong body and soul and life and death to my faithful savior Jesus Christ who's purchased us, and you belong too. Our morality ought to reflect that. We are being a body with Christ as our head should acknowledge that. It is our calling, our urgent calling to fight sin, to fight the world, the flesh, the devil. May the Lord give us strength to do that together.”

“Church, we have to remember something. We're eternal souls inside a temporary housing. They literally can't stop you. They have nothing. Paul, right, he's an example. If they imprisoned him, well, he just got the guards saved. The ministry continued. And when you kill a Christian, you just send them on to daggum paradise, Do your worst. I win. I win. It's a fascinating I always wonder if God gets offended by how hard we work to stay alive.”
35s
“We are never going to belong to God. We will never gain access to his club, if you will, so long as we depend on our understanding and our insight. But the good news of God for us is that hope is not lost. We're not stuck on the outside forever, permanently kept out of the kingdom of God. We may not understand our way to happen, but we can certainly believe in the one from heaven.”

#PursueHoliness
“It's not something we can postpone either. Young people in this room, don't think that you can dilly dally scripturally, spiritually speaking until you make profession of faith. I'll deal with that that aspect of my holiness later on. I can dabble in it for some time. For those of us in this room who are elderly, you cannot make the excuse, well, I know I'm called to be holy and set apart on this issue, but you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I've been in this sin for fifty years. I've been hardened in it. What's the difference? I'm saved. I don't have to deal with it. Yes, you do.”
35s
#ToughLove
“That when we see sin, not just in us, in those that we love and we dwell and we we sing songs together in the Lord's day, and we see that sin and we do nothing, that's hatred. That's not love. If someone sins against you, you're gonna be okay with them not even realizing it? That's not love. And that's not just because it impacts and hurts you. It impacts them. It impacts their standing before God, their judgment, their holiness.”
61s
#HeavenlyCalling
“The salvation that we have is great. When we have a share in the heavenly calling, it is a share in what is most precious, and it's more precious than anything the world can afford us. When the heroes of faith did what they did in faithfulness, they did it because they knew something better was coming. Even though they might have to give up something for the moment. Why would you give up something for the moment unless you're motivated about something else that awaits? Moses gives up the courts of Pharaoh. Abraham gives up the security of familiarity. People are sought in two. They give up their lives. They sacrifice in order to remain faithful. And that's because they have more than the earthly in their hands, in their heads, in their hearts. They have a share in the heavenly calling.”

#FaithfulFoundation
“He's not letting the hit... The the, the house splinter or crumble. He doesn't leave it to us ultimately to build the house. He doesn't abandon the house. He hasn't left it to others to rule the house. It's his house. And though we may admire those who have worked in the house, the honor belongs to the lord. And there's great motivation here. If we're his house, we know we will not become an abandoned house, but an enduring house.”
33s
#JesusBuildsUs
“But through... Though Moses was faithful in god's house as a servant, Jesus is faithful over god's house as the son. And his atonement builds the house and his lordship continues to build the house and his intercession builds the house and his return will complete the house and everything hinges on him. He presides of over it all. Through him, all things were created. Through him, we're recreated.”
63s
#FromSinaiToCalvary
“But my brother, my sister in Christ, we are not going to stay here at Mount Sinai. I could leave you with the law and tell you, go on. Do better. You know what to do now. Go. You've been warned. Now improve. But that would be irresponsible. When the law confronts you, repent first. We're going to shift our gaze from Sinai to Calvary. Go home and pray. Ask God for forgiveness. Cry out for mercy for all the days, the months, and even years you have wasted when you haven't done what you had to do or you have done what you shouldn't have done.”
49s
#ForgivenessInChrist
“When you have dishonored your god, when you have neglected your family, when you have not fulfilled your role as a parent, if you are not a father or a mother, but have looked down on the role of the family in God's design, repent. For in doing so, you've also despised your greater family, the church. Ask for forgiveness and look to Christ on the cross, and believe believe that he died to forgive every one of those sins. Believe that there is forgiveness in him and that there is power in him.”
