It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.
God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!
You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.
God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Marriage doesn't create problems. It reveals them. You bring unresolved stuff into it.
What you BECOME on earth matters far more than what you DO. You're taking your character to heaven, not your career.
The Bible isn't meant to just inform us, it is meant to transform us. 40 Days in the Word will teach you how to be not just a hearer of the Word, but a doer of the Word!
Great leaders inspire. They maintain a hopeful attitude, even in the face of discouraging setbacks, constant criticism and abundant opposition. People don't follow discouraged leaders. They follow those who persist with hope.
Keep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
The greatest detriment to tomorrow's success, is today's success.
Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
