There is an old saying that says, actions speak louder than words, and so true it is.
I believe there is nothing so powerful to our own sanctification than to see practical Godliness lived out in others (hence the name of this website). In my own personal experience, I have derived the greatest personal sanctification from [...]

I sometimes find it very difficult to relay to people just how important it is to be in a strong local church. So much of our growth and sanctification as Christians relies on this! It just seems to be an issue that is not taken very seriously. Many have been a casualty of the belief [...]

Everything we believe has ultimate implications in our daily lives; that cannot be denied.

This week during the corporate prayer at the church I am presently attending, I mentioned to the congregation our responsibility to pray for the situation at VA Tech. Obviously, with a tragedy of such great proportions, our prayers should certainly be for the surviving families and loved ones hurt by such a heinous act of [...]

How is your quiet time going? How about your daily walk? Are you witnessing? Are you building relationships? Are you a regular at church? Are you putting forth that effort?
