A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.
God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.
We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.
Whenever God begins something, we have the assurance that He will finish it. Nothing will stand in the way of Him accomplishing His purpose in this world and in our lives.

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.
People who are crucified with Christ have three distinct marks: 1. they are facing only one direction, 2. they can never turn back, and 3. they no longer have plans of their own.
What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.
God's Word is true whether we believe it or not. Human unbelief cannot alter the character of God.
God’s voice speaking tenderly to our hearts today is the same voice that powerfully called creation into being.
We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.
Faith is not a conclusion you reach...it's a journey you live.
There is a strain of loneliness infecting many Christians, which only the presence of God can cure.
The only Christian you want to listen to is the one who gives you more of a hunger for God.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.
Rules for Self Discovery: 1. What we want most; 2. What we think about most; 3. How we use our money; 4. What we do with our leisure time; 5. The company we enjoy; 6. Who and what we admire; 7. What we laugh at.
