I encourage you to measure your favorite authors and your favorite quotes by what the Bible teaches and what the Bible includes.

Gossip involves saying behind a person’s back what you would never say to his or her face.

Flattery means saying to a person’s face what you would never say behind his or her back.

It is easier to go to a consistent extreme, than to stay in the center of biblical tension.

I’m not sure where I heard this, but it rings true:

We only do regularly
what we are held accountable for

Therefore–we need accountability!

C. S. Lewis

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

We need fellowship with others to be alone safely.

Speak, O Lord

Published by steve under Wisdom, Worship

A wonderful song to help us prepare for our time with God in His Word (privately or corporately). It serves as a reminder that we need to hear and act on the truths of God’s authoritative Word. We never should approach the Word simply to accumulate knowledge or even just for answers for others. The Word is always to lead to the transformation of our lives—leading to impact on our circle of influence.

A Biblical Strategy for Fighting for Purity

Published by steve under Bible Study, Wisdom

This is a re-post from Justin Taylor’s blog Between to Worlds.

This is a must read and listen for all men.

A Biblical Strategy for Fighting Sexual Lust

[Listen to] A good message here from Rick Holland at the Resolved Conference.

Using Proverbs 5, he identifies six biblical strategies that will ensure sexual purity:

  1. Undertake the pursuit of biblical instruction (Prov. 5:1-2).
  2. Undress the deception of sexual sin (Prov. 5:3-6).
  3. Understand the value of safe distance (Prov. 5:7-8).
  4. Unmask the regret of sin’s aftermath (Prov. 5:9-14).
  5. Unlock the satisfaction of marital fidelity or intimacy (Prov. 5:15-19).
  6. Unleash the power of God’s omniscience (Prov. 5:20-23).

You can also read a manuscript below from an earlier version. The Resolved message was different, but the general outline is the same:
