Don't be afraid of pressure. Pressure is what transforms a lump of coal into a diamond.

I had a battle going on in my head: shall I just enjoy my life and then convert on my deathbed? But I felt I couldn't do that - it was now or never - so I took a step of faith and became a Christian.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now, doesn't mean it won't happen. God's timing is perfect.

The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

With our own shortcomings, we are in no position to judge anyone else. The best way to forget the faults of others is to remember our own.

If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep.

I was just praying quietly in tongues and I found that a really helpful way to pray. There are other times when I use the gift when I really feel I don't know what to pray or how to pray. I know what I feel but I just can't quite put it in to words, and I use that, I find it a helpful gift. I don't think you need to speak in tongues, I don't think all Christians do speak in tongues, nobody has to speak in tongues, nobody's forced to, but if somebody wants to I think it's a good gift.
