We must never perform for our critics or let them shape our character, but we must always stay faithful where God has placed us and aim to please Christ.

Because the resurrected Christ has proven his authority as our divine life-giver and judge, we must respond to his call and trust him for eternal life to escape the judgment we deserve.

God previewed the rich meaning and impact of Christ’s redemptive work through the Old Testament symbols of the Ark of the Covenant, its sacrifices, and its rituals.

We will often be judged by surface-level impressions and assumptions, but we must stay focused on our spiritual integrity and refuse to play the comparison game.

Knowing that we will encounter criticism, we must work to always respond more like Christ, enlisting, powerful, and wise resources that God provides us.

God is at work, advancing the gospel one testimony at a time.

Christians who refuse to complain trust God in a way that clearly sets them apart from the world.

Christians who give generously make a far greater impact than they realize—God uses their giving to strengthen their churches and advance the reputation of gospel near and far.
