You cannot impart what you do not possess.

The reason God can't use you more than He wants to may well be that you are not prepared.

Maybe you've attended church for five, ten, or even twenty years, but you've never cracked open the Bible to prepare yourself for effectiveness as His instrument. You've been under the Word, but not in it for yourself.

When God measures a man he puts the tape around the heart, not the head.

Most people don't think, they just rearrange their prejudices.

You can control your choices but you can't control the outcome of those choices.

So the real question confronting you now is: How can you afford not to be in God's Word?
