In the psalms, we have a collection of 150 prayers that were inspired originally by the Holy Ghost. If you want to know how God is pleased and honored in prayer, why not immerse yourself in the prayers that he himself has inspired?
Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.
For the Arminian, salvation is possible for all but certain for none. In the Calvinist position, salvation is sure for God's elect.
The neutral view of free will is impossible. It involves choice without desire.
The gospel of Jesus Christ must be defended in every generation. It is always the center of attack by the forces of evil.
It is superstitious to equate our feelings and inclinations with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The promises of God for tomorrow are the anchor for believers today.

This means that if a person fulfills his or her vocation as a steelmaker, attorney, or homemaker coram Deo, then that person is acting every bit as religiously as a soul-winning evangelist who fulfills his vocation. It means that David was as religious when he obeyed God’s call to be a shepherd as he was when he was anointed with the special grace of kingship. It means that Jesus was every bit as religious when He worked in His father’s carpenter shop as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane.

The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.
We have to find in Christ, not a mask that conceals our face, but an entire wardrobe of clothing, which is His righteousness.
We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'
