Righteousness is not the absence of falling, but the pursuit of getting up.

Following Christ is hard, but it's the least we can offer Him for the price He paid.

Knowing God's Word should translate into doing God's Word.

Our obedience to God's Word isn't sufficient to earn salvation.

Our future and hope is in Jesus Christ.
