marriage dream thinking
An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."
real integrity adversity
Real integrity stays in place whether the test in adversity or prosperity.
attitude home past
The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home.
prayer thrones lord
If you are having difficulty loving or relating to an individual, take him to God. Bother the Lord with this person. Don't you be bothered with him - leave him at the throne.
strong hurt scripture
I have tried and I cannot find, either in scripture or in history, a strong-willed individual whom God used greatly until He allowed them to be hurt deeply.
godly order self
A "godly" person is one who ceases to be self-centered in order to become God-centered.
jobs wonderful contradictory
Things will happen that seem to be totally contradictory, but these are God's arrangements. It was a wonderful day when I finally realized I don't have to explained or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
halls seminary intellectualism
You won't find God at the Seminary and you won't find wisdom in the halls of intellectualism.
jobs commitment intellectual
When we attempt to find meaning in the pursuit of pleasure, the commitment to a job, or through plumbing intellectual depths, we all eventually find in each of these pursuits a dead end.
plans heavenly
God's heavenly plan doesn't always make earthly sense.
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.
most-encouraging please knows
You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
christian spiritual father
What sets Christian spiritual activity apart from all other religions is that they have knowledge of Christ as their goal; not moral perfection (although you will become more moral), not tranquility (although your life will be remarkably more peaceful). And because of the grace you have in Christ, the disciplines will do nothing to make you more accepted by the Father. You cannot be more accepted than you already are in Christ, since He has already done it all for you!
mean humility sacrifice
When you pray, pray so that you may know Him. When you seek to simplify, do it as a means of knowing Him more. When you surrender, or behave with humility or sacrifice, do it with the sole purpose in mind to know Him.
