It is by serving God and others that we store up heavenly treasures. Everyone gains; no one loses.
Whenever I see an unmarried woman carrying a child, my first response is one of respect. I know she could have taken the quick fix without anyone knowing, but she chose instead to let an innocent child live.
For Christians this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven.
To procrastinate obedience is to disobey God.
How we spend our time verifies what we value most: TV, the Internet, or God's Word?
Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!
Grace never ignores the awful truth of our depravity; in fact it emphasizes it. The worse we realize we are the greater we realize God's grace.
He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God's grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.
Cheap grace replaces truth with tolerance, lowering the bar so everyone can jump over it and we can all feel good about ourselves.

Compassion for the mother is extremely important, but is never served through destroying the innocent.
