We are the decisive factor in the affairs of the universe.

The provision is in the promises.

God is more concerned with our character than with our achievements. Achievements have importance only in the realm of time. Character is eternal. It determines what we will be through eternity.

God does not measure everything by numbers or dimensions. He has another scale of values, according to which-asJesus Himself told us-one human soul is worth more than the entire universe.

Endeavoring to live the Christian life by your own efforts is the greatest single hindrance to walking in the Spirit.

Truth is not obtained cheaply. It demands much time given to prayer and study of the Scriptures, followed by practical application in our daily lives. It must take priority over the many forms of cheap entertainment offered by our secular culture. It is a lifetime commitment.

A faith that does not result in activity of any kind is a dead faith; it is empty, worthless, insincere.
