Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.

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.

Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.

The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it.

It's the nature of the beast within us to keep going back to the familiar rather than to strap on faith and face the future.

Life...as God intended it enables us to live above the drag of fear, superstition, shame, pessimism, guilt, anxiety, worry, and all the negativity that keeps people from seizing each day as a gift from Him.

...the single most important issue in all of life (is) your relationship with the living God... how you can know Him in a personal and meaningful way.
