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.

One of Satan's most deceptive and powerful ways of defeating us is to get us to believe a lie. And the biggest lie is that there are no consequences to our own doing. Satan will give you whatever you ask for if it will lead you where he ultimately wants you.

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

Although the church accomplishes many tasks, its only message to the world is the gospel of Christ. Everything else we do is merely an extension of that primary goal. The gospel we offer the lost is superior to every worldly philosophy. Never outdated or in need of correction, it is always sufficient to meet humanity's greatest need: reconciliation with the Creator.

The best way in the world to deceive believers is to cloak a message in religious language and declare that it conveys some new insight from God.

God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.

God allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.
