To become God's mighty servants, we must decide whether we will base our life on His priorities or the world's. The two are incompatible.

As you walk through the valley of the unknown, you will find the footprints of Jesus both in front of you and beside you.

We are the product of our thinking, so it is important that we choose carefully where to focus our mental energy.

Discipline is something we despise for the moment.... We all look for a place to run, an excuse with which to stall. No one enjoys it. Yet those of us who have endured it know that the fruit it produces and the pain from which it ultimately spares us makes it worth the agony.

I would never discredit reading the Scriptures, but it is important to meditate on it.

Often times God demonstrates His faithfulness in adversity by providing for us what we need to survive. He does not change our painful circumstances. He sustains us through them.

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.
