So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.
The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.
It seems we are often guilty of being more interested in defending God’s Word than in studying it.
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
We’re a nation of laws, but the good thing about America, is that laws reside in the people and people can change the laws.
God hates loneliness, and community is God’s answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can’t do it – because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
As a Christian, you can enjoy life because your conscience is clear. You can enjoy life because you are secure within God’s love.
The first purpose of your life is to be loved by God! Yes, it is important to serve him, obey, and trust him, but your first purpose is to love him.
Never procrastinate in showing love. Don’t delay. Don’t put it off. Do it now.
Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.
How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, “I’m willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me.”
Instead of focusing on that unappeasable person, refocus on Jesus, who accepts you unconditionally.
But no one who is lost has lost one ounce of value to God. Even if you don’t have a relationship with him, you have immense value to God.
God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.
You are loved by the One who knows you best. God’s love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.
Whenever you serve others in any way, you are actually serving God.
A church will never grow beyond its capacity to meet needs.
We do not have to make the Bible relevant – it already is! But we do have to show its relevance.
You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, ‘This is what I’m intended to do.’ The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can’t fulfill it if I’m out of shape.
