Does God really work the bad happenings in our lives for our good? Looking at the life of Paul gives us more insight into this question and the answer.

The account of David & Bathsheba shows us that forgiveness is absolutely necessary for man-kind. The clean heart and clear conscience is our only route to true peace.

God has placed within every human being the desire to succeed. Pushing for the next level of achievement is always better than setting the goal so low it comes easily.

We as humans will never “arrive” so we must keep straining toward the goal because the thrill of life is in the attempts at achieving the next goal.

Just because we’ve always done “it” that way doesn’t make it the best way or the method that best honors God.

Those who make the most noise may be doing so because they are not being heard.

Playing with sin is a lot like playing with fire; one cannot be surprised when burned by it. Sin will always take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay and cost you more than you intended to pay.
