Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and His will.

I have many friends that don't claim to be followers of Christ. As far as day-to-day friendship and being together at various functions, I don't think that there should be any difference at all.

When our faith becomes nothing more than a series of rules and regulations, joy flees and our love for Christ grows cold.

... our little things are all big to God's love; our big things are all small to His power.

Life is a glorious opportunity, if it is used to condition us for eternity. If we fail in this, though we succeed in everything else, our life will have been a failure.

I will buy you back with My blood because I love you. I will free you from the chains of sin. I will settle the conflict within and give peace to your soul. But you must come to Me with a repentant heart. You must be willing to be redeemed. You must exchange your sin-blackened heart for a new heart that is cleansed by My blood.

His (God) love is not a passing fancy or superficial emotion; it is a profound and unshakable commitment that seeks what is best for us.
