All of us have areas of weakness. God wants these character flaws to show us how totally dependent we are upon Him. When we handle them properly, they drive us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord. But uncontrolled weakness wreaks havoc in a person's life.

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

When we learn from experience, the scars of sin can lead us to restoration and a renewed intimacy with God.

Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan.

Behavior is the substance of religion. Belief is the substance of relationship.

There is nothing worse than a life filled with adversity from which nothing good ever comes.

I know God can cut it (popularity) off in a minute.
