Trusting God means thinking and acting according to God's word in spite of circumstances, feelings, or consequences.

The greatest judgment God can send on His people is letting them have their own way.

Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.

The devil tempts us to bring out the worst in us, but the Father tests us to bring out the best in us.

We must never mistake the process for the result...there is suffering; but this is only the process. God isn't going to stop with the process; He wants to produce the final result. Suffering leads to glory; shame leads to honor; weakness leads to power. This is God's way of doing things.

Sometimes fear comes, not before the battle or even in the midst of the battle, but after we have won the victory.

Hypocrisy means deliberately pretending. None of us lives up to his ideals; none of us is all that he would like to be or all that he could be in Christ. But that is not hypocrisy. Falling short of our ideals is not hypocrisy. Pretending we have reached our ideals when we have not - that is hypocrisy.
