Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
When God blesses you financially, don't raise your STANDARD OF LIVING. raise your STANDARD OF GIVING.
We usually focus on what we're doing or where we're going, but God's primary concern is who we're becoming in the process.
The gospel costs nothing. We cannot buy it or earn it. It can only be received as a free gift, compliments of God’s grace. So it costs nothing, but it demands everything. And that is where most of us get stuck — spiritual no-man’s-land. We’re too Christian to enjoy sin and too sinful to enjoy Christ. We’ve got just enough Jesus to be informed, but not enough to be transformed.
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. ...Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows... Your prayers for your children are the greatest legacy you can leave.
Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path.
There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.
If you seek answers you won't find them, but if you seek God, the answers will find you.
The only God-ordained fear is the fear of God, and if we fear Him, we don't have to fear anyone or anything else.
NEGATIVITY is more than an attitude issue, it's a spiritual issue. It could cost you forty years and keep you out of the Promise Land.
Sometimes the purpose of prayer is to get us out of circumstances, but more often than not, the purpose of prayer is to get us through them.
