The Bible teaches that all sin begins with sinful thinking.
In a very real sense, the suffering of this world was created by man himself.
The word of God teaches that Christians suffer in order that they might glorify God in their lives.
Many people have just enough natural religion to make them immune to the real thing.
The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.
What we think of Christ influences our thinking and controls our actions.
Happy is the person who has learned the secret of being content with whatever life brings him, and has learned to rejoice in the simple and beautiful things around him.
Faith grows when it is planted in the fertile soil of God's Word.
Faith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.
The Bible teaches that faith is the only approach that we have to God. No man has sins forgiven, no man goes to heaven, no man has assurance of peace and happiness, until he has faith in Jesus Christ.
Fear can paralyze us and keep us from believing God and stepping out in faith. The devil loves a fearful Christian!
[There are] seven gifts God gives you when you commit your life to Christ: a new relationship, a new citizenship, a new family, a new purpose, a new power, a new destiny, and a new journey.
Christ did not suffer and die to offer cheap grace. Jesus did not go willingly to the cross so we could have an easy life or offer a faith built on easy-believism. As someone once said, 'Salvation is free, but not cheap.' It cost Jesus His life.
Dogs are quick to show their affection. They never pout, they never bear a grudge. They never run away from home when mistreated. They never complain about their food. They never gripe about the way the house is kept. They are chivalrous and courageous, ready to protect their mistress at the risk of their lives. They love children, and no matter how noisy and boisterous they are, the dog loves every minute of it. In fact, a dog is still competition for a husband. Perhaps if we husbands imitated a few of our dog's virtues, life with our family might be more amiable.
