Encourage others each and every day-nothing's more important than our words.

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.

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?

Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness.

To grow in your passion for what Jesus has done, increase your understanding of what He has done.

Individuals motivated by self-interest, self-indulgence, and a false sense of self-sufficiency pursue selfish ambition for the purpose of self-glorification.

The biblical purpose of every conversation you have, in every personal interaction, is that they person who hears you will receive grace.
