A Christian way of thinking is not just thinking Christian thoughts, singing Christian songs, reading Christian books, going to Christian schools; it is learning to think about the whole spectrum of life from the perspective of a mind that has been trained in truth.

Father, we long for the clarity of Your truth to dawn upon our minds and for the immensity of Your love to grip our hearts.

When we turn luxuries into necessities, we jeopardize our ability for contentedness.

The Christian will be sure to make enemies. It will be one of his objects to make none; but if doing what is right and believing what is true should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will regard it as a small loss, since his great Friend in heaven will be even more friendly and will reveal Himself to him more graciously than ever.

As a result of grace, we have been saved from sin’s penalty. One day we will be saved from sin’s presence. In the meantime we are being saved from sin’s power.

There is no one insignificant in the purposes of God.

If [the devil has] brought you down, make sure that with Christ’s enabling you stand back up.
