vocabulary use cult
Cults use our vocabulary, but they don't use our dictionary.
people negative want
Nothing is more bothersome to me than retiring. Weird things happen when you disengage; first you get negative, then you start telling people about your latest surgeries, and eventually you lose touch. I want to stay in touch.
real people cracks
I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.
regret fear fighting
Boldness in the course of a noble fight is worth the risk... If you stand on truth, you'll only regret your timidity later, but you'll never regret being bold.
fear doubt panic
When we panic, we instinctively turn to our own internal resources because we doubt Him.
soul rumor suspicious
Those who feed on rumors are small, suspicious souls.
morning white fire
Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.
night people choices
In the wilderness, God's covenant people struggled with a choice between feeding their bellies and nourishing their souls. God provided manna-a breadlike food that fell to the ground during the night-to sustain the wandering Israelites and to teach them how to value His Word more than physical fulfillment.
thinking trying important
I think it is important to begin with a statement in your speech that grabs the attention of the audience. I try to make my opening line 15 words or less.
god christian powerful
When we have God in clear focus, His powerful presence eclipses our fear.
evil choices slides
You and I are, by birth, by nature, and by choice, inwardly depraved, which is to say that we are entirely corrupt. That's not to say that we have no good in us; we do. However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide.
dare wanted be-you
There is only one you. God wanted you to be you. Don't you dare change just because you're outnumbered!
christian jesus religion
Tell yourself right now and throughout today, that it's okay to draw away from the maddening crowd. Jesus did; so can you.
dry facts sometimes
When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.
