His voice leads us not into timid discipleship but into bold witness. ”

Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important. ”

If we have built on the fragile cornerstones of human wisdom, pride, and conditional love, things may look good for a while, but a weak foundation causes collapse when storms hit. ”

There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you'll stand firm if you stand on His love. ”

When we learn from experience, the scars of sin can lead us to restoration and a renewed intimacy with God. ”

To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses. ”

Take steps each day to be sure your life expresses commitment to Jesus. ”

People don't like the idea of consequences. They want to be able to live their life freely and do what they want to do without any consequences. And we know that's just not the way life is. ”

The bottom line in the Christian life is obedience and most people don't even like the word. ”

One of the important things about temptation is, if I'm going to deal with it I'm going to have to recognize, this is an area of weakness in my life. I have been tempted here before and before and before. ”
