First open your heart, then open your Bible.

Doing the easy thing makes you popular. Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.

Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.

God uses the opposite situation of each fruit to allow us a choice. You can't claim to be good if you have never been tempted to be bad.

If an organ is somehow severed from its body, it will shrivel and die. It cannot exist on its own, and neither can you. Disconnected and cut off from the lifeblood of a local body, your spiritual life will wither and eventually cease to exist.

God doesn't owe us an explanation for everything and actually what I've found is that explanations don't comfort. What comforts is the presence of God, not the explanation of God.
