The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.

An offended heart is the breeding ground of deception.

We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.

God is seeking those who hear His call to a life of worship. Those who heed are those who will walk in His presence. They will know Him intimately as He will manifest Himself to them.

How can a good God appoint cruel people to positions of authority? The answer is simple: God is the originator of the authority, but He is not the author of the cruelty. Man is responsible for his cruel actions, not God. All authority is of God, but not all authority is godly.

Christianity is not a sprint but an endurance run. Therefore it is not how we start the race that counts, but how we complete it. How we finish is determined by the choices we make, and those are often formed by patterns we develop along the way.
