To overcome prejudice, we can boldly speak against it and teach our children total intolerance for it. We can get to know one another; when we do so, the stereotypes that impede relationships will fall away. Finally, we can express regret to others for past prejudicial sins and ask God to forgive us and change our thinking.

Nothing will kill what you've been called to do more than comparing yourself to someone else.

Oddly, the most freeing thing we can ever do is to abdicate the throne of our own miniature kingdoms.

The Bible teaches that there are no lost causes. No permanent pit-dwellers except those who refuse to leave.

Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.

If you are still alive, then God is NOT finished with you!

God desires to change us from the inside out. Renewing our minds, starving our self-destructive tendencies, and teaching us to form new habits.
