When God forgives us and purifies us of our sin, He also forgets it. Forgiveness results in God dropping the charges against us.

We should not pray for God to be on our side, but pray that we may be on God's side.

I'd grown up in a Presbyterian church, but I really didn't know Christ personally in my heart. I knew him, but I didn't know him. And there's a difference between an intellectual faith and a personal, heart faith in which I opened my heart to him and let him rule my life.

Talk about God can become dreary and lackluster if God isn't in you.

Don't be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and his will first in everything you do.

The family should be a closely knit group. The home should be a self-contained shelter of security; a kind of school where life's basic lessons are taught; and a kind of church where God is honored; a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed.

The Holy Spirit illuminates the minds of people, makes us yearn for God, and takes spiritual truth and makes it understandable to us.
