Finding stillness before the KingAmidst busy lives, we must find moments of silence to ask the Lord to purify our hearts as we stand in His righteousness.

The danger of hypocrisyJesus warns against the 'leaven of the Pharisees,' which is the habit of hiding sin and blaming others rather than taking personal responsibility.Luke 12:2–3

The progression from covetousness to sinSin often begins with covetousness and leads to acts that spoil one's testimony before God and others.

God's compassion versus the terror of His judgmentWhile God sends messengers out of compassion for His people, persistent mockery of His word leads to a time when there is no remedy for judgment.2 Chronicles 36:15Proverbs 29:1
