character choices temptation
God does not make our choices easier because temptation is his character development curriculum.
real unique thank-god
I thank God for the way he made you, distinct, special and unique. You were not made from a common mold.
priorities matter ruins
No matter how many pleasures Satan offers you, his ultimate intention is to ruin you. Your destruction is his highest priority.
caring demand levels
Christianity demands a level of caring that transcends human inclinations.
god debt pay
In salvation, God both declares us guilty and pays our debt. Only he can satisfy his own requirements. A savior less than God would be disqualified; God must do it himself.
spiritual maturity comfortable
Spiritual maturity is marked by being comfortable with the unpredictability of God.
christian communication long
The activities we do for God are secondary. God is looking for people who long for communication with Him.
prayer taken simple
Prayer, desperate prayer, seems so simple, but it’s a step rarely taken by those in family conflict.
heart agreement spirit
Worship is not an external activity precipitated by the right environment. To worship in spirit is to draw near to God with an undivided heart. We must come in full agreement without hiding anything or disregarding His will.
way credit done
It is not enough to do God's work; it must be done in His way and for His credit.
religion firsts formulas
Those who have failed miserably are often the first to see God's formula for success.
christian-inspirational bitterness bitter
There’s no such thing as a bitter person who keeps the bitterness to himself.
jesus sacrifice thinking
Don't ever think that there are many ways to the Divine. Jesus is the one qualified mediator, the only qualified sacrifice, and the only qualified savior.
christian sacrifice giving
Those who give much without sacrifice are reckoned as having given little.
