The ability to make judgments lies at the heart of Christian living. Unless we are able to judge doctrine, lifestyles, and entertainment, unless we are able to distinguish between outer appearance and inner character, we just might miss the purpose for which God placed us on this earth. We might end up accepting a stone for bread and a snake for a fish.

Thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness in our pain is the indisputable proof that we believe God is a part of our pain.

Spiritual maturity is marked by being comfortable with the unpredictability of God.

Faith is only as good as the object in which it is placed.

How do you know you have a servant's heart? Look at your reaction when you are treated like one.

God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.

At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
