blessing pay-the-price people
If you only knew what God had to take me through to get me to the place where he could use me to be a blessing to other people, I doubt whether you would be willing to pay the price.
second-chance first-impression firsts
First impressions never have a second chance.
simple house support
Many seducers clutter the simple message of the gospel with legalistic additions, with convoluted attempts to legitimize moral compromise, and with psychological theories that turn churches into relational support groups instead of houses of worship.
waste arguing lord
When each elder or pastor has his will aligned with the Lord's, we waste no time arguing for our own.
running responsibility church
It's not our church; it's God's - it's not our responsibility to run it!
children parent thrill
Part of the thrill of guiding children into adulthood is the release. But it's also a parent's greatest act of surrender. Still, you have to let them go. Start now.
believe i-believe
I believe firmly in God's control in life.
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.
