“God doesn't make things difficult for us. Do you want to know what the truth is? Look in the Bible, and you'll see that Jesus describes Himself not only as the truth, but the way and the life as well.”

“Singles have goals, responsibilities, deadlines, events, and friends that occupy their time, as well they should. Nonetheless, before any goals are achieved, responsibilities are fulfilled, deadlines are met, events are attended or friends are visited, God's purpose should be accomplished.”

“We have all been guilty of complaining, but God does not look at it as lightly as we may think. Complaining was the reason the Jews ended up wandering in the desert for forty years. If we were more grateful for what God has done for us, abasing ourselves would not be a problem.”

“Just because we want something so bad does not mean that God wants it for us, too.”

“Giving is a really big thing around Christmas, as well it should be. Christmas is about giving, and it all stems from the greatest gift the world has ever received - the gift of Jesus Christ.”

“Not to be harsh, but why do we care so much about celebrity acceptance of Christian beliefs?”

“Though monetary compensation may never add up, teachers can rest assured that they are important.”

“Use God's word to acknowledge what He did for you.”

“A 'real pastor' is not preaching of their own; they are speaking what God put in their heart by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is using them at that very moment to speak to the congregations situations -past, present, and future.”

“Learning from the past helps to ensure that mistakes are not repeated.”

“God is never on the sidelines of His children's lives. He goes before them. He leads them, guides them, protects and saves them.”

“Christians need a time and place to sanctify themselves. It's important to take the time, and early in the morning is a wonderful time to do it.”

“Flesh will not stand in front of God, so all the decisions you make from your flesh will be paid for with your soul. Your flesh rejects the truth because it desires to do what it wants to do.”

“We glorify God with all of our members, but in most cases, our mouths seem to get more opportunity. So it just goes without saying that we can dishonor Him with our mouths as well.”

“Christians are commanded to pray in the name of Jesus. It is not a practice reserved just for personal prayers, or prayers rendered in church.”

“Holiness through Christ's Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.”

“It seems, by today's standards, that it's better to seek approval than to tell the truth. It's better to utter sweet nothings than to boldly say something of substance.”

“God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is still loving on His people.”

“Christ is the only way into Heaven. The world may say otherwise, but what they are really doing is making rules for someone else's house.”

“A Christian's example is always Jesus.”
