When we accept Christ we enter into three new relationships: (1) We enter into a new relationship with God. The judge becomes the father; the distant becomes the near; strangeness becomes intimacy and fear becomes love. (2) We enter into a new relationship with our fellow men. Hatred becomes love; selfishness becomes service; and bitterness becomes forgiveness. (3) We enter into a new relationship with ourselves. Weakness becomes strength; frustration becomes achievement; and tension becomes peace.

The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.

The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.

When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive.

Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.

If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.

To repent means to realize that the kind of life we are living is wrong and that we must adopt a completely new set of values. To that end, it involves two things. It involves sorrow for what we have been and it involves the resolve that by the grace of God we will be changed.
