You and I are, by birth, by nature, and by choice, inwardly depraved, which is to say that we are entirely corrupt. That's not to say that we have no good in us; we do. However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide.

Don't be afraid of outgiving God. It is impossible to do that.

If you only knew what God had to take me through to get me to the place where he could use me to be a blessing to other people, I doubt whether you would be willing to pay the price.

God's heavenly plan doesn't always make earthly sense.

Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.

If God's people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be - it must be - compassion.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.
