We often forget that calling for peace is the most courageous act we can take. It's easy to call for revenge, to claim injustice, and to launch an attack. It's much more difficult to forgive, to call for peace, to lay down weapons.

The true test of faith is how we treat those who can do nothing for us in return.

We don't earn God's love; we receive it. We don't work for His approval; He approves us.

Let us not see today's troubles as a reason to give up; let us see them as an opportunity for God to deliver.

Righteousness and generosity are inseparable. The person whose heart longs for God also longs to give to others.

The Bible's message is that you matter to God. Our response is that God should matter to us.

When we realize the shortness of life, we begin to see the importance of making every moment count.
