It’s not 'those who help themselves' whom God helps; it’s those who humble themselves.

Sunday is the best day of the week because we celebrate the risen Christ of the cross in the local church, the dearest place on earth.

In order for romance to deepen, you must touch the heart and mind of your wife before you touch her body.

Encourage others each and every day-nothing's more important than our words. Did you know that, on average, each of us speaks about twenty-five thousand words daily? My last book didn't have that many words. A lot of language is flowing out of our mouths every day and having an impact on those around us. But how much of that flow is fulfilling God's intended purpose for our speech? How much of it reflects pride, rather than a gospel-motivated humility?

But the very act of pausing in a busy day to pray is an act of weakening pride in my life, acknowledging that I am a dependent creature. I am not self sufficient.

Unless you see yourself standing there with the shrieking crowd, full of hostility and hatred for the holy and innocent Lamb of God, you don’t really understand the nature and depth of your sin or the necessity of the cross.

Pride is when sinful human beings aspire to the status and position of God and refuse to acknowledge their dependence upon Him.
