  1. "...self-humbling is our Christian duty" (R. Kent Hughes).
  2. It may just be me, but I'm glad God forced himself on me. Who wouldn't want to be conquered by unrelenting grace?
  3. "Sinners tend to respond sinfully to being sinned against" (Paul Tripp).
  4. "We must not offer people a system of redemption, a set of insights & principles. We offer people a Redeemer" (Paul Tripp).
  5. God won't let his children have what they want until they want what is worth having (Jas 4.2-3).
  6. How many people have you murdered in your lifetime (Mt 5.22; Jas 4.2)?
  7. If you want to fight less, pray more (Jas 4.2c-3). Pray-ers find little time to quarrel.
  8. Conflict is to fight with men for what only God can provide (Jas 4.1-3).
  9. Cohabitiation before marriage ain't all it's promised to be: library.constantcontact.com/download/get/f…
  10. @matt_sliger Even more thankful for your helping us sing well to our Trinitarian God, brother.
  11. You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead.
  12. @gibgibson You can be my wingman anytime.
  13. Too close for missles, I'm switching to guns.
  14. First and Foremost Citizens of Heaven – The Gospel Coalition Blog thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2012…
  15. Wisdom is not knowing what to do as much as it knowing the One with whom we must do (Prov 9.10).
  16. Sharing truth is not always necessarily dispensing wisdom. God's wisdom is peaceable, gentle and full of mercy (Jas 3.17). Don't be a jerk.
  17. "If you desire anything less for yourself than a life of absolute sinlessness then you are fighting against God's desires." (S. Ferguson).
  18. The healthy church is not one who loves to plan, but who plans to love (1 Pt 1.22). Let's not love being busy but get busy about loving.
  19. Jesus is already Lord of our lives (Rom 14.11; Phil 2.11). Salvation then hinges on whether or not we're happy about that.
  20. Not much gauges fulfillment of the "royal law of love" more than congregational prayer, where our time and words are the church's to have.
