Christians have a dual citizenship - on earth and in heaven - and our citizenship in heaven ought to make us better people here on earth.

When we change the message of God, we change the God of the message.

The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.

We do not understand and then obey: that is instruction. We obey by faith, and then we understand: that is illumination.

A good book is like a seed: it produces fruit that has in it seed for more fruit. It is not a picture on the wall; it is a window that invies us to wider horizons.

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.

Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ.
