“The weekly day of rest was intended for our good. It allows us to restore our mind, body, and spirit from the demands of our labors. It also gives us time to celebrate what has been accomplished during the week, as well as in times past, as we gather with other believers to worship the Lord. If we ignore the sabbath principle, we may lose our health, become addicted to our work, and develop an inflated sense of self-importance.” (Page 354)
“To God, forgiveness follows repentance. And repentance is not merely saying, ‘I am sorry.’ Neither is it accomplished by tears and a sad countenance. True repentance means turning away from wicked ways—from thoughts and acts that displease God—and turning toward a life that reflects godly ways.” (Page 160)
“than just emotion or senses, and to sustain our love even in the face of hostility or rejection.” (Page 248)
