Outlook determines outcome.

Most important, Christmas should be a spiritual experience....Christmas is not just an event in time; it is a spiritual experience available to every person who hears the Gospel.

Real contentment must come from within. You and I can not change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us.

If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don't give birth to sin yourself, rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.

In our universe there is God and there are people and things. We were made so that we should worship God, love people and use things. However if we worship ourselves, we will ignore God, start loving things and begin to use people.

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

It is easy to make excuses when we ought to be making opportunities.
