In our friendships we have to be wise that we choose godly people to be our friends. Somebody might say, well does that mean that you should never have a lost person as your friend? No, I wouldn't say that. But you can't have the same intimacy with a lost person that you can with a godly person in whom the Holy Spirit is living.

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

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.

With God, there is always a future.

Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It's impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.

Success is the continuing achievement of becoming the person God wants you to be and accomplishing the goals God has helped you set.

You may go through difficulty, hardship, or trial—but as long as you are anchored to Him, you will have hope.
