It is a pity that many Christians have the TV schedule better memorized than a single chapter for God's precious Word.

Focusing intently on Christ naturally results in a lifestyle of increasingly greater selflessness. And it has another benefit. Gazing on Christ gives us greater ability to look past life's trials and remain calm in the midst of what others would call chaos.

Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

When God's in it, the job gets done.

Someone has said,"Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one's ignorance."..No one has a corner on wisdom. All the name-dropping in the world does not heighten the significance of our character. If anything, it reduces it. Our acute need is to cultivate a willingness to learn and to remain teachable.

Hope is like an anchor. Our hope in Christ stabilizes us in the storms of life, but unlike an anchor, it does not hold us back.

I don't have to explain or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
