Take charge of your thoughts!
accomplish
Faith itself cannot accomplish anything, yet without faith, no one can fly.
animal men
Man is the only animal that when you pat him on the head, his head swells up.
happiness laughter grateful
Of all the things God created, I am often most grateful He created laughter.
christian religious teaching
Just as bank tellers need a thorough knowledge of legitimate currency in order to spot counterfeit bills, so Christians need a thorough knowledge of the Bible in order to spot bogus religious teachings. How grounded are you in the Scriptures? How deep are your theological roots? How capable are you of detecting false teachings?
vocabulary use cult
Cults use our vocabulary, but they don't use our dictionary.
real people cracks
I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.
morning white fire
Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.
soul rumor suspicious
Those who feed on rumors are small, suspicious souls.
fear doubt panic
When we panic, we instinctively turn to our own internal resources because we doubt Him.
regret fear fighting
Boldness in the course of a noble fight is worth the risk... If you stand on truth, you'll only regret your timidity later, but you'll never regret being bold.
self-esteem taken thinking
In our rough and rugged individualism, we think of gentleness as weakness, being soft and virtually spineless. Not so! Gentleness includes such enviable qualities as having strength under control, being calm and peaceful when surrounded by a heated atmosphere, emitting a soothing effect on those who may be angry or otherwise beside themselves, and possessing tact and gracious courtesy that causes others to retain their self-esteem and dignity. Instead of losing, the gentle gain. Instead of being ripped off and taken advantage of, they come out ahead!
believe needs discernment
We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and what we believe.
my-own
I am often the brunt of my own humor.
