Most people have settled for a wimpy grace. It's something that doesn't change their lives. There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

Are you weary? Catch your breath. Are you strong? Reserve passing judgment on the tired.

God crowns us. Most people crown their Christmas trees with either an angel or a star. God uses both.

If you knew Jesus was returning tomorrow, how would you feel today? Anxious, afraid, unprepared? If so, you can take care of your fears by placing your trust in Christ. If your answer includes words like happy, relieved, and excited, hold tightly to your joy.

The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.

Since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior. He became like us, so we could become like Him.

When you're full of yourself, God can't fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.
