Paul spoke of giving and receiving. I think this applies to encouragement. Receive it when necessary and give it to those who need it around you.

Outside of this, it is a waste of time. Sin will block access to heaven, no matter how hard we pray. 

Indeed, leaders eat last. Leaders who seize everything in sight without minding the welfare of their followers violate authentic leadership.

The promises can be appropriated in prayer for our temporal needs; but if we stop there, we underutilize them. The ultimate purpose of the promises is to become Christlike in words and deeds.

When seeking guidance, prayerfully study the desires in your heart and the prevailing circumstances.

The word of God is our life’s compass. It is a comprehensive guide for every aspect of life and can lead us to our inheritance. Having a right disposition to the Bible releases God’s blessings.

The Psalmist knew the place of godly instruction. He traced his excellent wisdom to the word of God.

Someone remarked that we are not called to do what is convenient, but what is commanded. Doing what God commands is proof of loving Him.
