Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves: Yesterday's regret and tomorrow's worries.

Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things. Outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated; but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.

The world changes - circumstances change, we change - but God's Word never changes

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.

Heaven is more than a destination; it is a motivation. Knowing that we shall dwell in the heavenly city ought to make a difference in our lives here and now.

The way we respond to criticism pretty much depends on the way we respond to praise. If praise humbles us, then criticism will build us up. But if praise inflates us, then criticism will crush us; and both responses lead to our defeat.

God doesn't bless us just to make us happy; He blesses us to make us a blessing.
