jesus heart able
The main thing to avoid being a casualty is simply this: to have a kind of intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ whereby you're able to hear God speak to your heart, you're sensitive to what He's saying to you to do, and that you're willing to be obedient to Him.
With God, there is always a future.
jesus children christian-inspirational
The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.
christian powerful character
Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.
reading years people
I hear people all the time say, well I read through the Bible last year. Well, so what? I'm all for reading through the Bible. But how much of that got on the inside, or did they just cover three more chapters today? I would never discredit reading the Scriptures, but it is important to meditate on it.
christian biblical thinking
I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have.
christian adversity christian-inspirational
There is nothing worse than a life filled with adversity from which nothing good ever comes.
christian-inspirational want faces
If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.
running pain agony
Discipline is something we despise for the moment.... We all look for a place to run, an excuse with which to stall. No one enjoys it. Yet those of us who have endured it know that the fruit it produces and the pain from which it ultimately spares us makes it worth the agony.
details certain ifs
If God has positioned us in a certain place, we must leave all the details to Him.
pride storm looks
If we have built on the fragile cornerstones of human wisdom, pride, and conditional love, things may look good for a while, but a weak foundation causes collapse when storms hit.
men praying
A man can preach no better than he prays.
victory events defeat
In times of defeat, we never know how close we are to victory. In every event of failure, God has planted a seed of success.
people church opinion
I certainly respect other people's opinions, but I would not vote for a woman to be the pastor of a church.
