Be informed by tradition, not ruled by it. The Word of God is our only infallible rule of faith and practice, but an unwillingness to consider what previous generations have learned about applying God's Word discloses either naivete or arrogance. - Bryan Chapell

At times we behave like the culture around us and we approach God with a ‘can do’ mentality. The problem is, we can’t DO, because God has already DONE.

We're all Jacobs dressed in the clothing of our older brother, Jesus, to obtain the inheritance of the Father.

"Great attempts have been made of late to make the church receive the world, and wherever it has succeeded it has come to this result—the world has swallowed up the church." — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Suffering, no matter the situation, is never pointless; but always serves to turn our attention and affection towards God. 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 Job 33:29-30 Acts 5:41
