You'll never be a mature Christian until you understand that God remembers his promises and forgets your sins.

Flattery is saying something nice in order to help yourself. Encouragement is saying something true in order help someone else.

Seek first the kingdom of God, and then trust that He will take care of our needs, even before we know what they are and where we're going.

In the world of perpetual outrage, people cannot see the difference between deflated footballs, a dead lion, and dismembered babies.

The seed of God's Word won't grow to fruitfulness without pruning for rest, quiet, and calm

If you find yourself mistreated, misunderstood, and mocked as a Christian, take heart, for so they did to the Christ.

I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.
