Jesus never gives any instruction on The posture of prayer. The place of prayer. The time of prayer. The length of prayer. He simply says, “When you pray.” Stop worrying about mechanics and just pray.
You build trust with others each time you choose integrity over image, truth over convenience, or honor over personal gain.
~John Maxwell~
Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness to service.
~Jack Hyles~
“Sometimes we don't need another chance to express how we feel or to ask someone to understand our situation. Sometimes we just need a firm kick in the pants. An unsmiling expectation that if we mean all these wonderful things we talk about and sing about, then let’s see something to prove it.” --
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Obedience is the truest expression of our love for Christ. Not our emotional bursts of "worship" or our tears or solemn promises or extended hours of prayer. No, love expressed is obedience to His will as He has revealed it to us.
~A.W. Tozer~
“To be wise is to be a craftsman at living, an artisan of life.”
Ron Jenson
The Father is the source of all blessing, and the Son is the channel of all blessing, [and] it is through the Holy Spirit at work in us that all truth becomes living and operative in our lives.
~Billy Graham~
“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”
T.S. Eliot’s lament:
PR.
So many people run around in their fleshly ways trying to do things for God -- we're busy serving on one committee or another, trying to run the church, demanding recognition and disappointed when we don't get it -- active like termites and having about the same destructive effects.

The Spirit has wrought in you your faith and love and hope, and every grace. There is not a jewel upon the neck of your soul which he did not place there.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
The problem is never Scripture but our unwilling hearts to believe what Scripture clearly teaches.
Dustin Benge
Stop making your sin so much more special than everyone else's. Repent. Take the blood. Praise the Lord. And move on.

In heaven, Christ and his Church shall celebrate their joyous nuptials. This affinity is more lasting so is it nearer than earthly wedlock. Let the love of husband be never so pure and fervent, it is but a faint picture of the flame which burns in the heart of Jesus. Passing all human union is that mystical cleaving unto the Church, for which Christ left his Father, and became one flesh with her.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
Forward is your only way; you are shut up to it. You have no armor for your backs; and whatever dangers lie in front, there are ten thousand times as many behind. It is onward or nothing; nay onward or dishonor; onward or death.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
