"Optimism is a wish without warrant; Christian hope is a certainty, guaranteed by God himself. Optimism reflects ignorance as to whether good things will ever actually come. Christian hope expresses knowledge that every day of his life, and every moment beyond it, the believer can say with truth, on the basis of God's own commitment, that the best is yet to come." — J. I. Packer
"God's promises are like the stars; the darker the night, the brighter they shine."
— David Nicholas
Christ leads us in triumph; we do not accomplish this ourselves. This triumph is a spiritual victory that belongs to us by being in Christ.
When we live by the new covenant of grace, God impacts our lives. He makes us sufficient by sharing His sufficiency with us. "Our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant." This sufficiency is from His grace at work on us, in us, and through us-which produces spiritual characteristics in our lives.
The choices we make every day make up our lives.
Keep going! What are you waiting for right now? What are you in the middle of that’s stretching your faith? The Lord is with you in the messy middle and He will strengthen you to endure. Keep seeking the Kingdom of God!
God has not left us, even when our emotions tell us otherwise.
Reach out to the Lord. Let Him hear it all — the anger, the heartbreak, the suffering, and the confusion. He will not turn His back on you!
There’s a benefit to constantly filling our minds with the things of God. Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” (NLT). The only way to protect ourselves against ungodly influences is to fill our minds with the things of God.
Sin isn’t merely a matter of actions and deeds. It is something within the heart and mind that ultimately leads to action. Sin deceives us into believing that because we haven’t committed the actual act, we are okay.
The greatest adventure in life – knowing God – begins at the Cross of Christ and ends with a “Hallelujah!”
~David Jeremiah~
Once we are honest about our feelings, they can be submitted to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who desires for our emotions to be rooted in His love, reflecting the fruits of His Spirit in healthy, healing ways.
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
~J.C. Ryle~
Triumphant living is one of the characteristics that God wants to develop in us through the work of His grace. Even when we are in difficult situations, the Lord wants us to learn to walk in the victory that is available to us in Christ.
“Without The Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are like ships without wind or chariots without steeds. Like branches without sap or coals without fire”
— C.H. Spurgeon
God can bear the full weight of our pain and give us strength and life when we feel only weakness and death. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NIV)

Being a disciple of Christ means the world’s agenda will increasingly be against you.

Only Christ can change the world -- one man and one woman at a time. This is the key to our freedom. Don't substitute political debate for the only true changer of lives -- Jesus Christ.
When we live by the new covenant of grace, God impacts our lives. He makes us sufficient by sharing His sufficiency with us. This sufficiency is from His grace at work on us, in us, and through us-which produces spiritual characteristics in our lives.
Too often Christians are more concerned with studying difficult doctrines, but indifferent about loving difficult people.
