I added up all the money the church paid me for the first 25 years and gave it all back.

What is the glory of God? It is who God is. It is the essence of His nature; the weight of His importance; the radiance of His splendor; the demonstration of His power; the atmosphere of His presence.

Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits.

Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you - your relationship with God.

Your spiritual family is even more important than our physical family because it will last forever.

When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, the present, and the future.

When the Christian praises and gives thanks to God, this not only pleases God, but it enriches the Christian's life with joy. It is a reciprocating transaction between God and man.
