The Bible is clear that those who fail to heed the Lord's discipline - whether nations, cities, or individuals - suffer devastating consequences.

There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you'll stand firm if you stand on His love.

Take steps each day to be sure your life expresses commitment to Jesus.

Nobody else can make us discouraged; it is a choice that we alone make when facing disappointments.

Focusing on difficulties intensifies and enlarges the problem. When we focus our attention on God, the problem is put into its proper perspective and it no longer overwhelms us.

Believing you can achieve a goal is vital to reaching a goal.

We must remember that the shortest distance between our problems and their solutions is the distance between our knees and the floor.
