Pleasure usually takes the form of me and now; joy is us and always.

The difference between those who are committed and those who are not is the difference between the words want and will.

The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing spiritually and coming unto Christ is the way we treat other people.

Young people . . , God wants us to be victorious. He wants you to triumph over all of your foes. Stalwart and brave we must stand. God is at the helm. There is no reason for defeat.

Everything is given by God. All talent, creativity, ability, insight, and strength comes from him. In our own strength we can do nothing.

Enduring, or carrying on, is not just a matter of tolerating circumstances and hanging in there, but of pressing forward.

Peace-not passion, not personal possessions, not personal accomplishments nor happiness-is one of the greatest blessings a man can receive.
