Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.

Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.

When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.

Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.

That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.

If you have ever said, "I didn't get anything out of worship today," you worshiped for the wrong reason. Worship isn't for you. It's for God.
