Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
To change your world, you must change your words. It's the rudder (James 3:4-5) of your life.
I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.
I'm not getting to heaven on my integrity. I'm not getting to heaven on my goodness.
The instructor is always silent when the test is given... ...When God is silent in your life... You are being tested.
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.
Significance in life doesn’t come from status, because you can always find somebody who’s got more than you. It doesn’t come from sex. It doesn’t come from salary. It comes from serving.
If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Worship isn't an event to attend & watch. It's a lifestyle to be lived.
The goal of 'The Purpose Driven Life' is to help people develop a heart for the world.
Only the Holy Spirit has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives.... We allow Christ to live through us... through the choices we make. We choose to do the right thing in situations and then trust God's Spirit to give us his power, love, faith, and wisdom to do it. Since God's Spirit lives inside of us, these things are always available for asking.
