Keep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
The greatest detriment to tomorrow's success, is today's success.
Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong starting point—ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose.
God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it.
Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.
Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.
Limited faith, limited future. Unlimited faith, unlimited future.
Your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit.
Paul says that as Christians we can rejoice even in tough times because we have hope and because we know that God is working in our lives.
