safe world never-change
The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.
decision waiting challenges
Next time you're faced with a credit-purchase decision, wait. Don't say no necessarily. Just wait. I challenge you to present your need to the Lord before presenting it to a bank, and see what He does with it.
journey joy destination
Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
christian running effort
Our great tendency in this age is to increase our speed, to run faster, even in the Christian life. In the process our walk with God stays shallow, and our tank runs low on fumes. Intimacy offers a full tank of fuel that can only be found by pulling up closer to God, which requires taking necessary time and going to the effort to make that happen.
beautiful flower people
People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.
christian worry characteristics
Worry is characteristic of the heathen, not the Christian.
light burning next
Faith is like lighting the torch that passes from one person to the next. You can't light the torch of another if yours isn't burning.
running dark light
You may be going through a trial so overwhelming that it's borderline unbearable. You want to see the end of the tunnel. Which is only natural, because once we see that little speck of light, we feel we can make it through to the finish. But God's tunnels are often twisting, too complex and dark to see the light for many days. In such settings He says, "In that dark, twisting, seemingly endless period of time, trust Me. Stop running scared! Stop fearing!"
average people groups
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.
thinking mind vision
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
meaningful issues important
...the single most important issue in all of life (is) your relationship with the living God... how you can know Him in a personal and meaningful way.
meaningful satisfaction-in-life finding-happiness
In spite of the extent to which Solomon went to find happiness, because he left God out of the picture, nothing satisfied. It never will. Satisfaction in life will never occur until there is a meaningful connection with the living Lord above the sun.
lonely solitude mind
It is in lonely solitude that God delivers His best thoughts, and the mind needs to be still and quiet to receive them.
spiritual luxury lap
Precious few are those who can live in the lap of luxury ... who can keep their moral, spiritual and financial equilibrium ... while balancing on the elevated tightrope of success. ... there is about one in a hundred who can dance to the tune of success without paying the piper named Compromise.
