Earth is only a pale version of heaven, not the other way around.

The next time the devil tempts you to think that you are not worthy to approach God, here is what I advise: Agree. Say, “You are right. I am not worthy to approach God. I never was worthy to approach God. I never will be worthy to approach God. My access to God’s presence is not based on my worthiness, it is based on what Christ did for me on the cross.

To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed.

The scripture teaches that he who now restrains will continue to do so until he is taken out of the way.

I know it sounds cliche but I believe in an essential way, it's very true that being a Christian is having a relationship with God through Christ.

The most miserable man or woman is the one who knows what is right and does not do it.

If you are seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. But also expect God to see you through
