• Living to glorify God means doing everything…
  for Him,
  His way,
  to point to His greatness
  and to reflect His goodness.“Terms don’t define our lives; our lives define our terms.”
• “Women need to remember that if nature has made them plain, grace can make them beautiful, and if nature has made them beautiful, good deeds can add to their beauty. Grace will make you beautiful and will attract truly godly men to you. Make godliness and inward beauty your priority.”
• “During courtship, guarding each other’s purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.”

• “In fact, the Bible tells us that the union of man and woman in marriage points to the climatic final scene – when Christ returns for His church, the bride He died to save
• “No matter where we are today or what mistakes we’ve made in the past, He has given us everything we need to glorify Him right now.”
• “We should never use spiritual activities to grab for more intimacy than is appropriate for our relationship.”

• “We can’t change by fancy methods. We can’t change by mere willpower. But God’s Spirit working in us can help us to “will and to act according to his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13).”
