A compass is narrow-minded-it always points to the magnetic north... We must discipline ourselves, personally, to fight any deviation from the course Jesus set for us. We cannot be tolerant of any other course.

Our faith becomes stronger as we express it; a growing faith is a sharing faith

To paraphrase the Bible, what shall it profit a man (or a woman) who gains the whole world but loses his or her own family?

Many invest wisely in business matters, but fail to invest time and interest in their most valued possessions: their spouses and children.

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

Suffering in life can uncover untold depths of character and unknown strength for service. People who go through life unscathed by sorrow and untouched by pain tend to be shallow in their perspectives on life. Suffering, on the other hand, tends to plow up the surface of our lives to uncover the depths that provide greater strength of purpose and accomplishment. Only deeply plowed earth can yield bountiful harvests.

God never tempts any man. That is Satan's business.
