way credit done
It is not enough to do God's work; it must be done in His way and for His credit.
religion firsts formulas
Those who have failed miserably are often the first to see God's formula for success.
christian-inspirational bitterness bitter
There’s no such thing as a bitter person who keeps the bitterness to himself.
jesus sacrifice thinking
Don't ever think that there are many ways to the Divine. Jesus is the one qualified mediator, the only qualified sacrifice, and the only qualified savior.
christian sacrifice giving
Those who give much without sacrifice are reckoned as having given little.
encouragement religious might
Everything that God brings into our life is directed to one purpose: that we might be conformed to the image of Christ.
mind sin
Keep in mind that when sin is viewed superficially, it is dealt with superficially.
taken hero risk
Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and bea hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave towealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to havedone nothing and succeeded at it.
christian letting-go strong
Someone has said that the marks of a strong church are wet eyes, bent knees, and a broken heart. We'll never be powerful until we let God be God and jealously guard His honor.
self grace defense
When the mask of self-righteousness has been torn from us and we stand stripped of all our accustomed defenses, we are candidates for God's generous grace.
character looks development
God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.
people requirements married
People do not have a constitutional right to be married any more than we could say that someone has a constitutional right to a driver's license. You either meet the requirements or you don't. In the case of marriage, homosexuals do not meet the requirements of marriage.
sex rights race
Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement. What we need to do is distinguish between race and behavior.
matter worship eternity
If we haven't learned to be worshipers it doesn't really matter how well we do anything else. Worship changes us or it has not been worship. To stand before the Holy One of eternity is to change. Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.
