“It is easy to be faithful, to be humble, and to pursue holiness when everything is going right. It is easy to be faithful in humility when everything aligns with your preferences and your prayers are being answered. There are moments in our lives when there is a collision with our preferences… [in those moments] God continues to mold us toward the likeness of Christ, in humility.” —Mark Zhakevich #TMSChapel youtu.be/paytwfBCS-U?si=vBXw…

“Be strong in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Make sure that you are putting yourself under teachers who are indeed faithful men. Have the discipline of a soldier, the dedication of an athlete, and the diligence of a farmer. Make sure you never forget the Lord Jesus Christ.” —Nathan Busenitz #TMSChapel m.youtube.com/watch?v=EiRX-f…

“A true Christian does not see God's promise of forgiveness as a license to sin, a way to abuse His love and presume on His grace. Rather, he sees God's gracious forgiveness as the means to spiritual growth and sanctification. He continually thanks God for His great love and willingness to forgive.” ―John MacArthur

"We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.” —John Calvin
