God commands that we live, not by the excitement of sexual or emotional attraction, but by the stable principle of commitment.

Those of us that will have the opportunity to judge angels are not going to do so willy-nilly; our judgment will not be based upon our subjective conclusions, but rather, on how well we have mastered the objective concepts given in the Word of God.

Religious rituals are only useful if they lead us to recognize our shortcomings and repent. Coming to church without the proper mindset is useless.

The marital relationship is not intended by God to be a relationship that is initiated because of emotion. When making a marriage decision, an objective evaluation of Biblical criteria is more important than an emotional attachment.

God did not create the man as an infant, but as one that had the maturity to consider the needs of another over his own. The sequence of operations that prepares us for marriage is to first reach chronological maturity, and then intellectual maturity, and then emotional maturity, at which point, a person is able to co-exist with another person while having the best interests of the other person at heart.

A man is putty in the hands of a woman if she influences him with the power of love. God has given women that which they need to help and to influence a man to become that which he should, and ultimately, to form a loving and bonded relationship with her.

God created us with the capacity to think and to choose, because He desired that His relationship with us be one of mutual love as well. To God, how we choose, rather than what we say, is the essence of our expression of love.

He that chooses the things of the world over the things of God will show his hatred for God once God denies him something that he wants, just as a spoiled child throws a temper tantrum when he does not get his way. But that is where discipline comes in. Just as Jesus chose to make the ultimate sacrifice for us, we can choose to serve God and not be spoiled children.
