Dogs are quick to show their affection. They never pout, they never bear a grudge. They never run away from home when mistreated. They never complain about their food. They never gripe about the way the house is kept. They are chivalrous and courageous, ready to protect their mistress at the risk of their lives. They love children, and no matter how noisy and boisterous they are, the dog loves every minute of it. In fact, a dog is still competition for a husband. Perhaps if we husbands imitated a few of our dog's virtues, life with our family might be more amiable.
Integrity is the glue that holds our way of life together.
When we grieve over someone who has died in Christ, we are sorrowing not for them, but for ourselves. Our grief isn't a sign of weak faith, but of great love.
Christ did not suffer and die to offer cheap grace. Jesus did not go willingly to the cross so we could have an easy life or offer a faith built on easy-believism. As someone once said, 'Salvation is free, but not cheap.' It cost Jesus His life.

[There are] seven gifts God gives you when you commit your life to Christ: a new relationship, a new citizenship, a new family, a new purpose, a new power, a new destiny, and a new journey.
Fear can paralyze us and keep us from believing God and stepping out in faith. The devil loves a fearful Christian!
The Bible teaches that faith is the only approach that we have to God. No man has sins forgiven, no man goes to heaven, no man has assurance of peace and happiness, until he has faith in Jesus Christ.
Faith is loved and honored by God more than any other single thing.
Faith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.
It is impossible to believe anything into existence. The gospel did not come into being because men believed it...The fact always precedes the faith.
God never tempts any man. That is Satan's business.
Don't worry about what you can't do; focus instead on what you can do... and then do it.
Every human being is under construction from conception to death.
