Satan can imitate God, but he cannot duplicate Him - God is the only One who can deliver us from our pain and suffering.
David JeremiahWhen culture changes around us, God's standard of living does not. Even when we're engulfed by evil, the eyes of the Lord range to and fro throughout all the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.
David JeremiahHappiness is about what happens to you; and, to an extent, it's dependent on your circumstances, your behaviors, and your attitudes. But the joy of Christ is much, much bigger. The joy of Christ is about relationship with a person. It's something you have access to, but it's also something you must choose. Christian joy shows up not only in the happy times but also in times of trial and discouragement.
David JeremiahOnce we begin chasing approval, we never stop running. It's servitude to a thousand masters instead of one to please.
David Jeremiah
