The older I get, the more important the eternal becomes to me personally.
God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice.
The cross shows us the seriousness of our sin-but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion - it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
God is unchanging in His love. He loves you. He has a plan for your life. Don't let the newspaper headlines frighten you. God is still sovereign; He's still on the throne.
God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever.
When we live apart from God, our lives get out of tune - out of harmony with others and with God. But if we live in tune with the Master, we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by His beautiful music. As this new year begins, ask God to help you tune your life every day to His Word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.
Perhaps the greatest psychological, spiritual, and medical need that all people have is the need for hope.
Sin was conquered on the cross. Christ's death is the foundation of our hope, the promise of our triumph.
It is not the temptations you have, but the decision you make about them that counts.

One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.
