may praying praise
Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.
christian spiritual father
What sets Christian spiritual activity apart from all other religions is that they have knowledge of Christ as their goal; not moral perfection (although you will become more moral), not tranquility (although your life will be remarkably more peaceful). And because of the grace you have in Christ, the disciplines will do nothing to make you more accepted by the Father. You cannot be more accepted than you already are in Christ, since He has already done it all for you!

God uses those who seem ill-fitted for a significant life.

Excellence-moral, ethical, personal excellence-is worth whatever it costs.

It's the nature of the beast within us to keep going back to the familiar rather than to strap on faith and face the future.

If you are having difficulty loving or relating to an individual, take him to God. Bother the Lord with this person. Don't you be bothered with him - leave him at the throne.

Real integrity stays in place whether the test in adversity or prosperity.
godly fog light
God's word is tailor-made for gray-slush days. It sends a beam of light through the fog. It signals safety when we fear we'll never make it through.
blessing giving decision
The decision to give ourselves to others is a daily taking up of the cross.
blessing compassion people
If God's people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be - it must be - compassion.
grace wounded dose
Only grace-large doses, frequently displayed, released-will restore the wounded.
spiritual determination growing-up
There is an enormous difference between growing old in the Lord and growing up in Him. One is automatic and requires no effort at all ... just aging. But the other is never automatic, or easy. It calls for personal discipline, continual determination, and spiritual desire. Churches are full of sleepy saints who are merely 'logging time' in God's family.
glory timetables plans
God doesn't work on our timetable. He has a plan that He will execute perfectly and for the highest, greatest good of all, and for His ultimate glory.
integrity sacrifice discipline
Thanksgiving speaks in clear, crisp tones of forgotten terms, like integrity - bravery - respect - freedom - discipline - sacrifice - godliness.
