soul rumor suspicious
Those who feed on rumors are small, suspicious souls.
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.
night people choices
In the wilderness, God's covenant people struggled with a choice between feeding their bellies and nourishing their souls. God provided manna-a breadlike food that fell to the ground during the night-to sustain the wandering Israelites and to teach them how to value His Word more than physical fulfillment.
thinking trying important
I think it is important to begin with a statement in your speech that grabs the attention of the audience. I try to make my opening line 15 words or less.
god christian powerful
When we have God in clear focus, His powerful presence eclipses our fear.
evil choices slides
You and I are, by birth, by nature, and by choice, inwardly depraved, which is to say that we are entirely corrupt. That's not to say that we have no good in us; we do. However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide.

There is only one you. God wanted you to be you. Don't you dare change just because you're outnumbered!

Tell yourself right now and throughout today, that it's okay to draw away from the maddening crowd. Jesus did; so can you.

When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.

Noise and crowds have a way of siphoning our energy and distracting our attention, making prayer an added chore rather than a comforting relief
promise would-be able
To require God to prove that He is able and willing to fulfill His promises would be proof positive that one does not trust Him.
life-changing pressure no-pressure
No pressure is greater than God's power.
desire doe surprise
God often does His best work in us when He catches us by surprise and introduces a change that is completely against our own desire.

An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."
