The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.

When each elder or pastor has his will aligned with the Lord's, we waste no time arguing for our own.

Believing in grace is one thing. Living it is another.

Consistency: It's the jewel worth wearing; It's the anchor worth weighing; It's the thread worth weaving; It's a battle worth winning.

I have no interest in returning to yesteryear. I love the conveniences and delights of today's time. I wouldn't go back if I could.

The longer I live the more I believe that the greatest enemy of a victorious Christian life is passivity.

Servants must be big people. Big enough to go on, remembering the right and forgetting the wrong.
