christian worry religion
Worry and faith just don't mix.
Take charge of your thoughts!
hot pot back-burner
Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.
christian easter voice
Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'
worry mind promise
Worry erases the promises of God from your mind.
watches exciting working-it
It's the most exciting thing to watch God work when I've asked him about something, to listen to him and watch him work. It's like this friendship, and it just grows and grows and grows and grows.
character hard-times talking
You see, when we talk about perfect trust, we're talking about what gives us roots, character, the stability to handle the hard times. Trusting God doesn't alter our circumstances. Perfect trust in Him changes us.
winning jewels anchors
Consistency: It's the jewel worth wearing; It's the anchor worth weighing; It's the thread worth weaving; It's a battle worth winning.
ignorance character names
Someone has said,"Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one's ignorance."..No one has a corner on wisdom. All the name-dropping in the world does not heighten the significance of our character. If anything, it reduces it. Our acute need is to cultivate a willingness to learn and to remain teachable.
spiritual children parenting
You want to mess up the minds of your children? Here's how - guaranteed! Rear them in a legalistic, tight context of external religion, where performance is more important than reality. Fake your faith. Sneak around and pretend your spirituality. Train your children to do the same. Embrace a long list of do's and don'ts publicly but hypocritically practice them privately... yet never own up to the fact that its hypocrisy. Act one way but live another. And you can count on it - emotional and spiritual damage will occur.
worry forget-you forgotten
Another problem with worry is that it makes you forget your worth. Worry makes you feel worthless, forgotten, and unimportant.
pain focus valleys
We shouldn't deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.
christian religion today
It's a delightful thing to receive a good word just at your time of need. Encourage someone today.
christian judging religion
God alone is perfectly and consistently just. We forget; God remembers. We see an action; God sees a motive. This qualifies Him as the best recordkeeper and judge.
