The bible says that all people, not just believers, possess part of the image of God; that is why murder and abortion are wrong.
Every time you make a bad choice, it becomes harder to make a good one.
What's true or right is NEVER determined by popularity or polls. The right thing is often unpopular since it's harder to do.
At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
God uses his Word, people and circumstances to mold us. All three are indispensable for character development. God's word provides the truth we need to grow, God's people provide the support we need to grow, and circumstances provide the environment we need to grow.
There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
To change your world, you must change your words. It's the rudder (James 3:4-5) of your life.
I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.
I'm not getting to heaven on my integrity. I'm not getting to heaven on my goodness.
The instructor is always silent when the test is given... ...When God is silent in your life... You are being tested.
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
