The BiblePhilippians 1:9-11

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

About the Cross of Christ Discipline of Grace
by Jerry Bridges, Pg. 61

We have seen that the gospel is the good news that Christ died in our place to pay the penalty for our sins. As a result we are declared “not guilty” in the court of Heaven. Not only that, we are also declared “righteous” in God’s sight because the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ has been credited to all who have trusted in Him. There is still more good news. The death of Christ secured for us not only freedom from the penalty of sin, but also deliverance from the dominion of sin in our lives.

About MarriageDoing Things Right in Matters of the Heart

In the Winter Olympics, figure skating events are the hottest ticket in town. Pairs figure skating has occasionally been the highest rated event among viewers. At its best, it displays the strength and beauty, the power and grace, of true unity. The gold medal is awarded to the couple who has most mastered the skills of male leadership and female support. This appears to me to be a visible model of what male leadership and female support are all about. This is what it looks like as it is worked out. It is an art form, not a mandate. It is a disposition, not a set of rules. When it is done well, it is a welcome sight in which both partners are fulfilled in themselves and delighted in the other. Olympic skaters would be the first to agree that this takes grit, practice, and patience. They trade in the currency of bruises, cuts, twisted ankles, and sore shoulders. But what they are purchasing is a unity of movement that they both fittingly rejoice in.
