The people to whom we minister and speak will not recall 99 percent of what we say to them, but they will never forget the kind of persons we are.

What we can accomplish as good as it may be does not compare to what God can accomplish

Prayer is talking with God about what we are doing together.

The disciple of Jesus is not the deluxe or heavy-duty model of the Christian-especially padded, textured, streamlined, and empowered for the fast lane on the straight and narrow way. He stands on the pages of the New Testament as the first level of basic transportation in the kingdom of God.

We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.

What we think is, in the adult person, very much a matter of what we allow ourselves to think, and what we feel is very much a matter of what we allow ourselves to feel. Moreover, what we think is very much a matter of what we wish and seek to think, and what we feel is very much a matter of what we wish and seek to feel. In short, the condition of our mind is very much a matter of the direction in which our will is set.

The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.
