Let's discipline ourselves so that our words are few and full.

The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.

The needed change within us is God's work, not ours. The demand is for an inside job, and only God can work from the inside. We cannot attain or earn this righteousness of the kingdom of God: it is a grace that is given.

Fasting reminds us that we are sustained by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4). Food does not sustain us; God sustains us.

Let's discipline ourselves so that our words are few and full.

Stop trying to impress people with your clothes and impress them with your life.

We really must understand that the lust for affluence in contemporary society is psychotic. It is psychotic because it has completely lost touch with reality. We crave things we neither need nor enjoy. We buy things we do not want to impress people we do not like.
