“If this is so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Daniel 3:17-18
When you acknowledge God’s supreme role in your life and set your mind on Him, He enables you to be people of hope.

“Thoughts invite us, more than words and deeds, to continue in sin, for thoughts can be concealed, while words and deeds cannot.” —
Soren Kierkegaard
Jesus was weary,
yet He is our rest.
Jesus wept,
yet He wipes away our tears.
Jesus was hungry,
yet He is the bread of life.
Jesus was thirsty,
yet He is the water of life.
Jesus died,
yet He destroyed the power of death.

One day God will not merely snap His fingers so death ceases to exist. He will attack it, defeat it, consume it and swallow it. He began to do this on the cross and in His resurrection. Someday we’ll see the glorious climax of the story that never ends.
All sin brings death and destruction -- even the ones we think are placid or under control.

It was to a virgin woman that the birth of the Son of God was announced. It was to a fallen woman that his resurrection was announced.

“As you listen to the conversations of the world, they are, for the most part, conversations of the deaf.” —
Paul Tournier
Jesus’ time with His disciples after His resurrection seemed remarkably normal. Once, Jesus started a fire and cooked fish, which means He didn’t just snap His fingers and the finished meal materialized. He invited the disciples to come to have breakfast.

A slave doesn't have much difficulty understanding what it means to serve the master's will -- freemen sometimes do. A freeman thinks every decision he makes is of his own will; he foolishly discounts the effect of the sinful nature. Or as Paul puts it: "you are weak in your natural selves". So it doesn't matter if we are free men in our society or not -- we are still slaves. The choice is: Are we slaves to impurity and ever-increasing wickedness, or to righteousness which leads to holiness?

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into a home except true love.

The Christian woman should remember that she cannot buy true attractiveness; that radiance which really shines forth in beauty is of the heart and spirit and not of the body.

As a husband, the Christian is to look upon the portrait of Christ Jesus, and he is to paint according to that copy. The true Christian is to be such a husband as Christ was to His church.

When our will is subject to His will, when we experience the power of obedience we will live the abundant life Jesus promised.

You can’t take Jesus and mix him with other things and have a pure gospel. It’s Jesus or nothing.

It should be the husband’s pleasure to please his wife, and the wife’s care to care for her husband.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
We need to dedicate, purify, and prepare ourselves to follow His leading. Then in every new beginning, new territory, and adventure in life we will see God do “amazing things.”

I love quotes but they are not the word of God for it is our foundation and lifeline.

You don’t have to feed unhealthy appetites and fleshly desires when you know there is a seat at Heaven’s table with your name on it.

When the king is abroad the queen must reign at home, and when he returns to his throne he is bound to look upon her as his crown, and prize her above gold and jewels.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
Despite our failings, weaknesses, disobedience, and acts of rebellion, He treasures us enough to send His Son to sacrifice Himself for us. We are His brave and triumphant children who follow Him into the river, unafraid, ready to face giants, smash idols, and receive our inheritance.
Ray Bently
Christians are God's delivery people. Through us, He gives to a needy world. We are conduits of God's grace to others. Our eternal investment portfolio should be full of the most strategic kingdom-building projects into which we can disburse God's funds.
Randy Alcorn
Throughout his ministry, Jesus extends an invitation to enter his kingdom to the most unlikely candidates.
"He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself." —

You can maintain a heart for lost people by simply remembering that you too were once lost but Christ saved you.

Leading other people is always challenging. However, there’s likely no one you’ll have to work harder to lead than yourself.

To submit to anyone less than Christ is difficult in a marriage. Yet it is Christ who commands women to be submissive to their sinful, fallible husbands. In this sense, Christ is the silent partner of the marriage. It is hard for a wife to submit when she disagrees with her husband. But when she knows her submission is an act of obedience to Christ and honors Christ, it is much less difficult.
~R. C. Sproul~
