Let heaven fill your thoughts instead. Because when you do, everything on earth gets placed in its proper perspective.
Whenever God is blessing, we can expect the devil to be opposing.
There’s a difference between remorse and repentance. Remorse is being sorry for being caught. Repentance is being sorry enough to stop.
God is watching us, but He loves us so much that He can’t take His eyes off us. We may lose sight of God, but He never loses sight of us.
You become a disciple in the biblical sense only when you are totally and completely committed to Jesus Christ and His Word.
The pulpit is not a place to settle scores, it’s a place to preach the word of God.
When you see that sunset or that panoramic view of God’s finest expressed in nature, and the beauty just takes your breath away, remember it is just a glimpse of the real thing that awaits you in heaven.
God’s plans for you are better than any plans you have for yourself. So don’t be afraid of God’s will, even if it’s different from yours.
God will test you because He wants you to mature. He wants you to develop a walk with Him that is not based on your fluctuating emotions, but on your commitment to Him as you learn to walk by faith.
What would you think of a person who always wanted things from you but never offered a word of thanks in return? We can be that way with God, can’t we? Let’s remember to thank Him.
The most miserable man or woman is the one who knows what is right and does not do it.
Heaven is not for good people, it’s for forgiven people.
New believers are the lifeblood of the church. We can either evangelize or fossilize.
If you have faith in God, if you believe that God can use you, if you are willing to take a step of faith here and there, then God can do incredible things through you.
Any step away from the cross is a step in the wrong direction.
We need to be homesick for heaven. Though we have never been there, we still have something God has built within us that gives us a certain homesickness, a desire to be there.
Earth is only a pale version of heaven, not the other way around.
Let’s commit ourselves to being true disciples of Jesus Christ. Not mere fair-weather followers, but disciples.
He who rejects the Bible has nothing to live by. Neither does he have anything to die by.
Just as you must eat, drink, and breathe to live, you must read the Bible, pray, and be involved in a church to stay spiritually alive and vital. You never will outgrow these things.
