There are many pitfalls in the marathon of life. But regardless of what you go through, you can count on God's sustaining grace.

First open your heart, then open your Bible.

Every human activity, except sin, can be done for God's pleasure, if you do it with an attitude of praise.

Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed

You will be tempted by the need to feed yourself.

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.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.
