beautiful jesus son
If through faith you have placed your eternal destiny in the loving hands of Jesus Christ, you can be sure that God is at work, shaping the events and circumstances of your life into a beautiful mosaic that will reveal His Son to the men and women around you. His hand is on you, as it has been since before you were born.
prayer agency purpose
Prayer is not an agency by which my will is to be accomplished upon the earth. The purpose of prayer is to get God's will to be accomplished upon the earth, and so many times we ask and receive not because the motive behind our asking is really that of accomplishing my will rather than God's will.
differences ruts depth
Ritualism is nothing more than a rut and the only difference between a rut and a grave is the length and the depth.
attitude facts wrong-attitude
I would rather have the wrong facts and a right attitude, than right facts and a wrong attitude.
prayer mind doe
Though prayer doesn't change God's mind or God's purposes, prayer does change something- It changes us.
heart desire lord
As you commit your life to follow the Lord, He begins to plant His desires in your heart, then guides you according to His plan
guides god-provides
Where God guides, God provides.
self honest helping
God will allow us to follow self-help, self-improvement programs until we have tried them all, until we finally come to the honest confession, ‘I can't do it. I can't be righteous in my own strength!’ It is then, when we admit our utter powerlessness, that we find hope. For it is then when the Lord intervenes to do a work that we could not do for ourselves.
wisdom jesus prayer
So live for the kingdom of God. Seek to bring glory to Jesus Christ and the Lord will use you. It is my prayer, my constant and daily prayer, that God would keep me useable.
prayer mean battle
There are more battles won through prayer than by any other means.
knowing knowing-what-to-do knows
Wisdom is knowing what to do with what you know.
trying fruit looks
God is more interested in what we are than in what we do. He looks for fruit; we try to produce works.
spiritual real differences
Paul points out that some say, 'I'm of Paul,' while others say, 'I'm of Apollos.' He asked, 'Isn't that carnal?' But what's the difference between saying that or saying, 'I'm a Baptist,' 'I'm a Presbyterian,' 'I'm a Methodist,' 'I'm a Catholic'? I have found that the more spiritual a person becomes, the less denominational he is. We should realize that we're all part of the Body of Christ and that there aren't any real divisions in the Body. We're all one.
beautiful strong mistake
Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking God uses only 'special' people the strong, the intelligent, the beautiful. We don't think He has a place for the rest of us. We are so wrong!
