When you know who you are (a Christ), who you belong to (Jesus Christ), and what you are here for (to live for Christ and like Christ), you can joyfully handle whatever God allows to come your way.
Since “love” is a verb, it requires some sort of beneficial action.
The main obstacle that stands between God and sinner, most often, is their virtues.
Our modern society possesses more worldly knowledge than it ever did; however, it is just as ignorant of the true meaning of life as it was in the Stone Age, if not more.
The spirit world is not a mystery to one who is experiencing it. Unbelievers don't have the desire or ability to examine the true facts about belief in Jesus Christ.
Life is a series of choices, and the spirit we possess will determine the direction in which we will go. Let our lives praise Jesus Christ.
We must make the gospel relevant in every aspect of our lives.
The present is always unique. Without genuine God-given love, we are nothing.
We may be right in what we believe, but fearfully wrong in how we live it.
The best proof that God has reached us is when we demonstrate His life.
One cannot teach an intelligent, know-it-all anything, but a person who is aware of his/her ignorance can at least be informed. Hard questions are as important as knowledge.
Don't let the devil fool you; he doesn't have a clue about God's secret plans for you and me.
As we become more Christ-like, people—even our families—may think we are screwy.
When we actually have something of great value, it doesn't matter a hoot or a holler if no one knows it; we don’t desire to show it off for world acclaim.
Beware of paid professional Christians (those who require our money for their services).
The closer one gets to Christ, the more amazing the value of grace becomes and the more we are aware of our constant need for it.
By our lives, we will affirm or deny the importance of Jesus Christ. Love is always optimistic.
No matter how evil people are, we must look at them in the best light. Our lives in Christ are for the less fortunate to enjoy.
To live for ego is to regard ourselves as the supreme being.
In dealing with the modern world, remember that sugar-coated evil has the power to spread itself like a deadly fungus. Teach men/women they are nothing more than intelligent animals and they will act that way (if that isn’t true).
We must thoroughly examine and make known the overwhelming evidence for the existence of God.
If we died today, what would be said of our accomplishments? Would they die with us or live on?
Love brings out our greatest potential (to be the best we can). Being loved, especially by God, makes us feel valuable and needed because someone thinks we are valuable enough to love.
We don't know what our itinerary in life will be, but we know the One who is scheduling it. The power of God will animate us to do the impossible.
Understand this: IT IS TOTALLY AND INFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD NOT TO ACTIVELY RESPOND TO THE CALL OF HIS ELECT WHEN IT IS BACKED BY A GENUINE, BIBLE-BASED, CHRIST-LIKE BELIEF THAT IS MOTIVATED BY SELFLESS, AGAPE LOVE. This is the kind of prayer that God is waiting to answer.
The biggest, if not the only, hindrance to God in making himself known to us is our selfish concern over how we will “make out” in life. We are so important to ourselves. If and when we get ego out of our way, the sky is the limit as to what God can do through us.
Death of the self is easier said than done, although there are many counterfeits deaths in the Christian realm displaying themselves only in words. True death to self (ego) is a mystery experienced only by those who belong to God. Amen!
