We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.

No woman is a more vibrant instrument in the hands of the Lord than a woman of God who is thrilled to be who she is.

Noble and great. Courageous and determined. Faithful and fearless. That is who you are and who you have always been. And understanding it can change your life, because this knowledge carries a confidence that cannot be duplicated any other way.

Challenges that tax our faith are usually opportunities to stretch and strengthen our faith by finding out if we really believe the Lord will help us.

There is a direct relationship between our personal experience with the Lord and how we see ourselves. The closer we grow to him, the more clear and complete becomes our vision of who we are, who we have always been, and who we may become.

The most effective way to share the gospel is to live it. When we live like disciples of Christ should live, when we aren't just good but happy to be good, others will be drawn to us.

The only way that we may overcome the world is by coming unto Christ. And coming to Christ means walking away from the world.
