ideas government people
Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can't give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don't have to work because the other half's going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody's going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

Anything you love more, fear more, serve more, or value more than God is your idol.

The Church is not a showboat; it's a battleship.

fruits-of-the-spirit patient shirts
The Bible says the fruit of the spirit is longsuffering. I'll tell you one thing about fruit: you will never see a fruit factory. Isn't that right? You see a shirt factory, but you see a fruit orchard. You see, there is no fruit without life. You cannot manufacture patience. The fruit of the Spirit is patience.
quality-not-quantity quality quantity
When you read the Bible, read for quality not quantity.
prayer heart naps
If you find a reluctancy to go into the presence of God, there may be unconfessed, unrepented sin in your life. Part of your quiet time is to get your heart clean and pure. Each of us needs to take ourselves by the nap of our necks and confess and repent before we come into God's holy presence to fellowship.
curves grades crosses
God grades on the Cross not on the curve.
prayer promise answers
There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve.
bbq other-half poor
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
buying-things people needs
It's about time we stopped buying things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.
