The Bible does not contain the Word of God; It is the Word of God.
Die to self: die to criticism, die to praise.
This is a faithless old world. Men and women are hardheaded, pleasure-mad, money crazy. They write up their successes and say, "The power and might of my hand have done these things." God has been ruled out; consequently, the thrill and romance of true living are gone for most people.
If you are a child of God, know that every promise in the Bible is yours.
In all true faith there is complete committal to God.
Worry is nothing but practical infidelity. The person who worries reveals his lack of trust in God and that he is trusting too much in self.
