Important Note: Just as with all preachers and authors, it's essential to acknowledge that we, as humans, are all tainted by sin. While we may appreciate various resources and authors, it's crucial to remember that the only infallible source we can fully trust in all matters of faith and doctrine is the Bible—God's own written word. Therefore, while exploring the resources and insights provided, it's vital to filter everything through the lens of Scripture. In the spirit of the Bereans (Acts 17:11), let's diligently search the Scriptures to verify and align with God's truth.

The Christian life is a journey of growing in holiness through sanctification. This section highlights practices such as prayer, fasting, and worship, while addressing the importance of daily devotionals and biblical stewardship of finances. It also covers Christian ethics and spiritual gifts.
