The true celebration of Christmas is when we ponder afresh the grace of God who became human, entered history through a virgin's womb, and brought redemption to the world.

If your mind is filled with the Word of God, then it can't be filled with impure thoughts.

It is only as we remember and embrace His generous grace toward us that we can extend it to others.

If we don't take inventory every once in a while and give thanks to God for the great things He has done for us, we get totally out of perspective.

When I put God first, God takes care of me and energizes me to do what really needs to be done.

The vinedresser is never nearer the branches then when he is pruning them.

The very thing that most qualifies us to pray is our helplessness.
