Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important.

Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.

We must never limit God's ability to turn even the worst, most vile experience in our lives into something productive, beneficial and positive.

God wants to cast out the fear and doubt in your life. Go before Him right now and say, "Lord, this is what I am afraid of ..."

If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.

The time you spend alone with God will transform your character and increase your devotion. Then your integrity and godly behavior in an unbelieving world will make others long to know the Lord.

The bottom line in the Christian life is obedience and most people don't even like the word.
