• We see blood when the body is injured.

• We need an infusion of Christ's blood to change our sinful nature.
• When we take communion we must remember that it is his blood that cleanses us.
• Music is a wonderful way to teach people about the truths of the scripture.  "What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus" "Trust and obey, there is no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey.
• Christ's death set into motion a constant cleansing for those who trust him and obey his commands.

• There is power in a lie.  The lies of the enemy shape this world.
• Knowing about God is not the same as knowing God.
• A lifestyle of self-centeredness will cause you to become a black hole of selfishness
• When you live a lifestyle in this world, you become enamored of the god of this world.
• They catch you quicker the second time.
• In sin you have to feed the vaccum inside of yourself.
• Pornography and sexual sin are against yourself.
• When you are without God you are without hope.  Sin seeks to kill and it will not stop until you are dead.
• Intercessory prayer is powerful
• Pride is so dangerous, the person with the most pride is the one who thinks they have none.
• There is no one like you.  You are a living, breathing work of art.
• God is not a slot machine.
• God's grace is so great, he goes back to the slave market for us.
• It is all about God.  Each salvation is a miracle, but it is not about any one of us; it is about God!
• Rend your heart and not your garments.  Not religion, but relationship with God.
• God will correct your vision.
• The time to prepare for temptation is not when you are in it, but when you wake up.
