I don't think there is anything wrong with a man who wants to give credit to the Lord, but I don't think the team with the most Christians on it is necessarily going to win. The Lord may be helping their characters and souls, but I don't think he's any more for the Dodgers than he is for the Braves. More than being concerned with who's going to win the Super Bowl, I feel the Lord is probably more concerned that they might find a day other than Sunday to play it on.
Prayer is more than a wish; it is the voice of faith directed to God.
When you follow Christ, it must be a total burning of all your bridges behind you.
The Bible is not an option, it is a necessity. You cannot grow spiritually strong without it.
Only as we bow in contrition, confession, and repentance at the foot of the cross, can we find forgiveness. There is the grace of God.
The greatest surprise in life to me is the brevity of life.
You cannot build a superstructure on a cracked foundation.

The Spirit goes ahead of us when we witness--- preparing the way, giving us the words, and granting us courage.
God knows what is best for you, and He wants to reveal it to you and show you what you ought to do.
God is concerned about everything that concerns us - without exception.
If it weren't for God's grace, you and I wouldn't be able to live for even one more minute.
God's grace, quite simply, is God's mercy and goodness toward us.
