| The message for children is short and simple: obedience - in both attitude and action - is "right". It is "well pleasing to the Lord". It is honoring to the parents. And it is good for the children - protecting them from a world of evil, prolonging their lives, and bringing them an abundance of blessing. Author: John MacArthur

| When a believer is in the place of obedience, no matter how severe the storm, he is as safe as if he were at home in his own bed, because the place of security is not the place of proper circumstances or of desirable circumstances. The place of security and safety, for the believer, is the place of obedience to the Lord. They were safe in the midst of a storm in obedience. Author: John MacArthur

Never let go your hold on Me for a moment. Be, as it were, rooted and planted in Me. Do this and I will never fail you. I will ever abide in you. Author: J.C. Ryle |
| Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord's people. Author: J.C. Ryle

| Accept the cost of good deeds in time, thought, and effort. But remember that opportunities for doing good are not interruptions in God's plan for us, but part of that plan. We always have time to do what God wants us to do. Author: Jerry Bridges
