"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." The fear of anything else will have substantially less positive results.

Hope is a critical thing to hold on to. Without hope, people fall into despair. What you put you hope in is just as critical as having it. If you put your hope in temporal things, it will come and go as those things can and will. If you put your hope on eternal things, your hope will be anchored and will pull you through any circumstance.

The degree of effort we put toward something is determined by how seriously we take it. There are many things that we don't do as well as we should because we don't take it as seriously as we should. Guarding our hearts may very well be one of them. What if we took guarding our hearts as seriously as it should be? What if we guarded our hearts as if our lives depended on it?

To "workout your salvation" carries the idea of constant effort. We are only as healthy, both physically and spiritually, as the effort we put into maintaining our health. We need to regularly, if not constantly, ensure we are maintaining a healthy heart. If not we may find ourselves in a place where we are fulfilling religious requirements instead of maintaining a right relationship.

The last place you want to find out you have a physical heart problem is in the back of an ambulance after it has failed you. By then it is probably a little too late to fix things.  The last place you want to find out you have a spiritual heart problem is the day you stand before your Savior and find out your heart was not right. That everything you've done, even for Him, was an outward exercise that did not reflect the condition of your heart.  In both physical and spiritual situations, it is critical to evaluate and keep your heart in check.

Abiding isn't a temporary thing. It doesn't come and go as things in our lives go up and down. To abide, your heart has to be in it. If you heart isn't completely in it, the tendency is to quit as soon as things get tough or don't go your way.

Even the smallest things done today can have a much bigger impact than we can fully comprehend. The things we do today can have an eternal impact. The fact is, we won't be known for the things we do for today but what we do for eternity.  This realization raises the question "is what I'm doing today counting for eternity?"

There is only one Truth and there is only one Gospel.  Christ died on the cross as a payment for the sins of all mankind. He was buried and rose again on the third day. It is faith in this work of Christ that saves us and nothing else. Any other gospel preached by anyone else is wrong.

A Holy God deserves and needs a holy people. A people led by and empowered by His Holy Spirit. A people that imitates Him and represents His Kingdom.

Everything Jesus did for us was motivated by love and to restore what was lost in the Garden. Everything He did was of the Father's will but of His own volition.

Any mission from God will be met with opposition. The hardest opposition to overcome is many times the battle that takes place in the mind. Victory is much more likely if you're listening to the correct voice, but the loudest voice may not be the right voice.

Each day we are faced with choices. Choices that, though they may not feel like it, can lead to life or death. Each day we have to choose to prepare and soften our hearts. Each day we have have to choose to commit to perseverance. Each day we have to choose to listen for and hear His voice.
