Jesus evidently hates it when we tear into our brothers or sisters with demeaning words, words that fail to honor the people around us as the beautiful image-bearing creatures that they are.

Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.

The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.

God gave me the same power He gave Jesus. I ask myself daily, Why do I waste such a priceless gift?

Christ can come back at any time so the one thing you want to have in your life is a focused prayer time.
