What matters in life is not so much what happens to us, but what happens in us

If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.

Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.

To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.

The miracle of Christmas is not on 34th street; it's in Bethlehem.

In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.

You also know you’re surrendered when you don’t react to criticism and rush to defend yourself. Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You don’t edge others out, you don’t demand your rights, and you aren’t self-serving when you’re surrendered.
