Most Christians are educated way beyond the level of their obedience already! We donโt need to know more, we need to do more.
Mark BattersonInstead of dissecting Scripture, we need to let Scripture dissect us our thoughts and attitudes, our dreams and desires, our fears and hopes.
Mark BattersonDonโt just read the Bible. Start circling the promises. Donโt just make a wish. Write down a list of God-glorifying life goals. Donโt just pray. Keep a prayer journal. Define your dream. Claim your promise. Spell your miracle.
Mark BattersonWell-developed faith results in well-defined prayers, and well-defined prayers result in a well-lived life.
Mark BattersonI think you often say more by saying less. And interestingly enough, I mean, Jesus really set the standard. I mean, he could say more with fewer words than anybody. Most of the parables were less than 250 words. And, boy, did he have some one-liners just packed with truth.
Mark BattersonYou don't have to do everything right as a parent, but there is one thing you cannot afford to get wrong. That one thing is prayer. You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. There is nothing you can do that will have a higher return on investment. In fact, the dividends are eternal.
