You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
God loves you enough to receive you as you are. He loves you too much to keep you as you are.
You don't need to beat yourself up in order to make God love you. Jesus already took your beating.
Everything may not be OK but if God is with you, you will be OK.
Faith is not just what we believe internally. It's how we behave externally.
We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.
Sometimes prayer moves the hand of God, and sometimes prayer changes the heart of the person who is praying.
Everyone has something to teach you if you are humble enough to learn.
Our identity is not in our joy, and our identity is not in our suffering. Our identity is in Christ, whether we have joy or are suffering.
The Bible is not a book of principles to live by but rather a Person to live for.
Tragically, we live in a day when offense to God doesn't matter nearly as much as offense to others.
Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.
Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.
If you're not a Christian, you're going to hell. It's not unloving to say that. it's unloving not to say that.
Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
Truthless times need timeless truths.
Looking for a word from the Lord? Believe that he has already spoken, and read what he's already written.
Much of spirituality today is an effort to change God to suit us. But he's not going to become more like us, we need to become more like him.
A single woman should only marry a man she can follow: Ladies if you are single, be very, very careful who you date and marry. Don't just date a man who you can put up with, marry a man you can trust, you'll follow his leadership, you'll respect him, he's saved, he's godly. The last thing you want is some guy you don't trust, he's not wise, he doesn't do his homework, he's harsh, he's inconsiderate, he's immature, he's a boy, you're more his mother than you are his mate, Real danger...real danger...
This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.
Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things
So let me tell you this, when it comes to...trying to introduce other people to Jesus. Don't get mad at them: it's not because they're stupid. It's because they're blind. Yelling louder, arguing harder, pushing firmer won't make someone who is blind see. Pray for them, speak to them, care for them.
Don't cohabitate. Don't fornicate. Don't look at pornography. Don't create a standard of beauty. Have your spouse be your standard of beauty. This is one of the great devastating effects of pornography: you lust after people and compare your spouse to them. It's impossible to be satisfied in your marriage if you don't have a standard that is biblical; that standard is always your spouse.
Don't believe false teaching that says you won't suffer if you really love Jesus. Jesus will end all suffering eventually, but on earth he suffered more than anyone.
Marriage includes a spouse, and often children. But the goal, center, and purpose of marriage is not self, spouse, or children. The ultimate goal of marriage and family is the glory of God. Only when marriage and family exist for God's glory - and not to serve as replacement idols - are we able to truly love and be loved. Remember, neither your child nor your husband (or wife) should be who you worship, but instead who you worship with.
