Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.

Easter means that Christmas worked.

The infallible test of spiritual integrity, Jesus says, is your private prayer life.

A life of gratitude to God for being saved is far more pleasing than a life based on self-righteousness over being good.

Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.

Success and suffering will either darken your heart or make you wise, but they won't leave you where you were.

We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order. The Bible tells us that God did not originally make the world to have disease, hunger, and death in it. Jesus has come to redeem where it is wrong and heal the world where it is broken. His miracles are not just proofs that he has power but also wonderful foretastes of what he is going to do with that power. Jesus' miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
