No matter how far we may wander from the Lord’s perfect will for our lives, we are always welcome back.

Understand that it is often unwise to forgive face to face. This tends to make the other person feel 'put down' and make you look holier-than-thou.

I certainly respect other people's opinions, but I would not vote for a woman to be the pastor of a church.

Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk, rejection, or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation, they check to see which way their friends are going.

The gate is small because truth guards the entrance. The way is narrow because the Lord protects us with wise boundaries.

Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.

God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.
