The God of Peace

Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him. The most mature Christians have often suffered greatly and yet experience great joy. The Comforter helps us and guides us in our persecution. Persecution cements the truth together with the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church.

Wisdom is to face trials with steadfast faithfulness. In the biblical view, wisdom comes not from man's abstract reflection, but through God's word and the trials He sends.

Double-mindedness in our theology leads to instability in every other area of our lives.

Nothing is more lovely than a Christian whose conversation is filled with grace and truth.

The Meek are the strong in the Lord, broken by God to be harnessed for God's use. Meekness is the opposite of unbridled anger.
