A successful Christian life will not be based on how much work we have done, but rather, on how close to the Lord we have become and how obedient we have been.

We must realize that the ministries and gifts of the Spirit are for everyday life, not just meetings.

Take heed when you think you stand, lest you fall. In this life you can fall from any level.

In the near future we will not be looking back at the early church with envy because of the great exploits of those days, but all will be saying that He certainly did save His best wine for last. The most glorious times in all of history have not come upon us. You, who have dreamed of one day being able to talk with Peter, John and Paul, are going to be surprised to find that they have all been waiting to talk to you.

It takes two wings for an eagle to fly. If an eagle were to try to fly with just one wing he would only spin around in circles on the ground. The same is true with many people who are trying to soar spiritually on their faith, but have not added patience. These just keep going around in circles, getting more and more frustrated and kicking up a lot of dust. Any truth that we teach without this counter balancing truth will lead us to frustration, not fulfillment.

True Christianity is a life of sacrifice. It requires that in everything we live for the Lord and others, not ourselves.

From the first Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit has proven that He will only come to the degree that we have unity.
