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.

There comes a moment when we all must realize that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us.

Don't let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.

God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever.

Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.

When Scripture talks about the heart, it's not talking about that life-sustaining muscle. It's talking about our entire inner being. The heart is the seat of our emotions, the seat of decisive action, and the seat of belief (as well as doubt).

Be careful before leaving someone in a sorrowing situation. Say a word of prayer with them and share even a brief word of encouragement from the Scriptures.
