Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Some opportunities are a calling. Others are a distraction. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Your past, present, and future are taken care of as you put your trust in Jesus.
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
Never be impressed with charisma. Look for character.
Use "breath prayers" throughout the day, as many Christians have done for centuries. You choose a brief sentence or a simple phrase that can be repeated to Jesus in one breath: "You are with me."
