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

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

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

People who walk by faith don't see obstacles, they see opportunities.

A prophet weeps while others are laughing.

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

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.
