matter gods-plan produce
It doesn't matter what has happened, better things are coming. God's plan produces hope in me.
son forever faithful
[God's] purposes are always accomplished. His enemies are always defeated. His faithful followers are always rewarded. His Son's throne will be established forever.
gaps saying-and-doing competing
Competing loves are detected in the gap between saying and doing.
gratitude attitude
Gratitude is the attitude that sets the altitude for living.
contentment want needs
I don't have everything I want but I have everything I need. That's contentment.
jesus joy firsts
You will never experience the fullness of joy you were created to know until Jesus Christ has first place in every area.
letting-go son church
Let God Himself be the main attraction at church again, and let us be tireless in our insistence that church is for God, about God, through God, and to the glory of His great Son.
deep-water fire way
Too many times we're looking for ways to get around deep waters and dangerous fires, rather than through them. Has this ever been your experience?
begging
Beware of begging God for things you don't have to have.
understanding way trust-in-god
Don't lean on your own understanding. If your trust in God is limited by your understanding of His ways, you will always have a limited trust.
past grace saws
God looked through eternity past and He saw you and He chose to reach out and redeem you by His own grace. It's hard to imagine that kind of love.
obstacles christ refusal
The biggest obstacle to making Christ magnificent is the refusal to make yourself small.
friday jesus believe
These criminals represent us. One of them recognized Jesus for who he was and received him; Jesus promised that when he died he would be in heaven with him. The other man rejected Jesus and closed his heart. Unlike the first criminal, when he died he didn't go to heaven. He went to hell. In that sense, these two men on either side of Jesus are just like every person. We either embrace Christ as our Savior and spend eternity with him, or we reject him and say, 'I don't believe it. I'll have nothing to do with.' And these people spend eternity separated from him.
determine misplaced
What you hope for determines what you live for. What you hope for determines WHO you live for. Hope misplaced can devastate you.
