The church is not a place. It’s a body––a family with blood ties through Jesus Christ.

~Billy Graham~

“Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but the truth.” —

Matthew Henry

Here on Earth we only get a small taste of the Lord and His goodness but soon in Heaven, we will be at the great feast and free to enjoy our content.

Now, what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.

~George Muller~

Like Jesus, our minds should focus on pleasing others, not ourselves, for their good and edification. This is not the people-pleasing of Galatians 1:10, “If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ”.

The study of God’s Word will secure peace. You take Christians who are rooted and grounded in the Word of God, and you find they have great peace; but it is these who don’t study their Bible and don’t know their Bible, who are easily offended when some little trouble comes, or some persecution, and their peace is all disturbed; just a little breath of opposition, and their peace is all gone.

~D.L. Moody~

Soren Kierkegaard, decrying the spiritual sloth of his era, wrote, "Let others complain that the age is wicked; my complaint is that it is wretched for it lacks passion...their lusts are dull and sluggish, their passions sleepy."

I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart––for men and woman of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don’t have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all in all.

~A.W. Tozer~

Where have you placed your hope? In your 401k retirement account? The appreciation of your home's value? Your job and career? What about your health? As we all know, our security can change without notice. Let's place our hope in the only one worthy -- our "hope of glory" -- the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

There can be a great victory in suffering as long as it points us back to the cross.

The church that is soundly rooted cannot be destroyed, but nothing can save a church whose root is dried up. No stimulation, no advertising campaigns, no gifts of money, and no beautiful edifice can bring back to life the rootless tree.

~A.W. Tozer~

It is not what we do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through us. God doesn’t want our success, He wants us. He doesn’t demand our achievements; He demands obedience.

~Charles Colson~

If God decides to not bail you out of your present situation add another second to your game clock.

Some things break our hearts but fix our vision.

“God Hold us to that which drew us first when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.”

~Amy Carmichael, God's Missionary~

Are we going through life with our eyes closed to the light because we love darkness? Rise up to obey the Light and more light will flood into our lives. We have been reborn to walk in the light.

~A.W. Tozer~

God is God. Because he is God, he is worthy of my obedience.

~Amy Carmichael~

We can debate, protest and shout our opinions to the world, but only if we are “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6: 18), will we see evil and hatred demolished and bondage broken, defeated by the power and love of God

- Ray Bently

The saddest road to hell is that which runs under the pulpit, past the Bible through the midst of warnings and invitations.

~J.C. Ryle~

“There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘All right, then, have it your way.’” —C.S. Lewis

Consider Jesus' words from Mark 6:31: "And He said to them, 'Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile.'" Hope comes from experience, but sometimes we need a little time to reflect on our past experience in order to renew our hope in the Lord.

"Whether prayer changes our situation or not, one thing is certain. Prayer will change us." BillyGraham

In your own mind–darkened, will–paralyzed, conscience–dulled soul, God can make the light penetrate and turn the darkness of your own life into the day if you will let him.

~Billy Graham~

Paul tells us hope will not disappoint and it will not make us ashamed, so why give up hope? Hasn't your past suffering produced in your perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope? Romans 5:5a- And hope does not disappoint us because God has poured out his love into our hearts... PR.
