Don't worry when you're being persecuted for God, worry when you're not.

Our greatest priority as Christian parents is to gradually transfer our children's dependence away from us until it rests solely on God.

Because my life was changed by God's Word, I love every organization that helps people know him through his Word.

God's will is clear about many things. We're to be holy. I like the metaphor that his Word is a lamp to our feet. A lamp may help guide my next one or two steps, but it's not a crystal ball into the future.

Personally, I hate flossing. So this is the first discipline I quit when I am stressed. But if I stop this one important habit, then I might be tempted to cheat on my eating plan, stay up too late, or skip my Bible reading. If I stay faithful in doing something that I don't enjoy, I tend to believe that I'm disciplined. Therefore, I eat better, go to bed on time, and stay in God's Word.

Scripture teaches us that we should trust God and not lean on our own wisdom or understanding. To do this, we have to strive to know God intimately, walking by faith and not by sight. This may not be easy at first, but it starts with simple obedience.

Your life is too valuable, your calling too great, & your God too awesome to waste your life on what doesn't matter.
