We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.

If I empty out half of my life, God can only fill half...God will fill as much of us as we allow Him to fill.

Real faith never disappoints because it is in God, grounded on His character, promises, covenant and oath.

As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.

There is more healing joy in five minutes of true worship than in five nights of revelry.

Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.
