Cynicism is carnality that thinks its smart.

Christ honors our submission even when our only motivation is obedience.

Dirt is dirt, and we've all got it no matter where we come from. I'm not sure Christ sees one kind of dirt as dirtier than another. One thing is for sure: His blood is able to bleach any stain left by any kind of dirt.

To possess dignity is to be worthy of respect. Worthy of high esteem. Absorb this: you are worthy of respect.

When we don’t take God too seriously, others don’t take our leadership too seriously!

I don't know a single person who truly seems to bear the mark of God's presence and power in his or her life who hasn't been asked by God to be obedient in a way that was dramatically painful.

What a beautiful name. I love to watch how it falls off the lips of those who love Him. I shudder as it falls off the lips of those who don't. Jesus.
