An insincere critic of a sincere person never wins.

Cleverness isn't always true nor is the truth always clever

When we look for success, it should be for the sole purpose of boasting sincerely in Christ. There's no other reason for it. Success is only worth it when the more intense it gets for you, the more you find yourself bragging for his glory rather than your own.

At first, they'll only dislike what you say, but the more correct you start sounding the more they'll dislike you.

The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker.

It's not at all hard to understand a person; it's only hard to listen without bias

I write about adversity, I praise adversity, not to be pessimistic, but rather to strengthen myself. The more familiar that you are with it, the less likely you are to have a breakdown when it occurs. You become more reflective of its purpose, you understand God's reason for it, and are then able to make the best of everything that you are handed. The darkness is only frightening after constant sunshine.
