The Bible says that as long as we are here on earth, we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies to be conquered before we return home. This world is not our home; our citizenship is in heaven.

Prayer is crucial in evangelism: Only God can change the heart of someone who is in rebellion against Him. No matter how logical our arguments or how fervent our appeals, our words will accomplish nothing unless God's Spirit prepares the way.

Before prayer changes others, it first changes us.

God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.

Your salvation depends on what [Christ] has done for you, not on what you do for Him. It isn't your hold on God that saves you. It's His hold on you.

Do you want to trust your life in God's pocket or keep it in your own?

God can take anything that happens to us-even bad things-and use it to shape us and make us into a better, more Christlike person-if we let Him.
