The skeptic may deny your doctrine or attack your church but he cannot honestly ignore the fact that your life has been changed.

I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.

Many seducers clutter the simple message of the gospel with legalistic additions, with convoluted attempts to legitimize moral compromise, and with psychological theories that turn churches into relational support groups instead of houses of worship.

It takes faith to find personal significance in your relationship with God rather than how much money you earn, how beautiful you look, how many toys you own, how many trophies you collect, or how much territory you conquer and control.

If you're running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you're trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you'll find that no job is all that intimidating.

I believe firmly in God's control in life.

There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
