  • Unsaved apostates do not have the Spirit of God in their lives.
  • The Spirit of God polishes the Truth before our eyes, so that gleaming, it captures our eyesight.
  • It is only the Holy Spirit of God that gives us the revelation, illumines our eyes, and inpspired the Word of God so that we might trust it.
  • Uncertain times call for steady steps upon the firm foundation of the Word of God. When the Lord saves you, he gives you the ability to cast together what you hear against the Word of God. As you let the Word of God sift, as you let the Word of God work, as you let the Word of God establish, as you let the Word of God give permission or remove permission, as you let the Word of God give peace or remove peace, you’re given steady steps.

  • God will judge evil.
  • We ought to guard against any form of apostasy.
  • If you know the Word of God, don’t fail to hold it in high esteem. Know it; love it; cherish it; share it; live it; demonstrate it everywhere you go.
  • We deal in the realm of ideas. Hold on to the Truth of the Word of God and share it, because God’s business is convincing. God will use His Word to convince and convict.
  • Remember that there are people to be praying for. When someone claims to know the Lord, yet their profession of faith is amiss, their soul and eternity are in jeopardy. Our job is not to be hoodwinked by them — our job is to communicate the truth.
