What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, "So that's why God allowed that in my life!" Until then, God wants you to trust him.
To begin loving people today, we must close the door on the past. And that cannot happen without forgiveness! Forgive those who have hurt you - for your sake, not because they deserve it.
Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
We receive God's grace by humbly admitting that we need it.
Whenever you feel unimportant, unloved, or insecure, remember to who you belong.
America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.
Your abilities are the map to God's will for your life. It points the direction. When you know what you're good at, then you can know what God wants you to do with your life.
If you are facing trouble right now, don't ask, "Why me?" Instead ask, "What do you want me to learn?" Then trust God and keep on doing what's right.
People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.
The love of Jesus Christ covers your sins, and it also gives you the power to let other people off the hook. You've been forgiven, and you can forgive others.
Your spiritual family is even more important than our physical family because it will last forever.
Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation. They enjoy helping people, meeting needs, and doing ministry.
