The filling of the Holy Spirit brings a sharp separation
between the believer and the world. A. W. Tozer~
I think God speaks something meaningful into our lives and it filled us up and helps us change the world regardless of ourselves and our shortcomings. His name for us is His beloved. He hopes we'll start to see ourselves as His beloved rather than think of all the reasons that we aren't. -- Bob Goff (from Love Does)
Boxes bring wonderful order to our life. They keep cereal from spilling and books from tumbling. When it comes to containing stuff, boxes are masterful. But when it comes to defining Christ, no box works. You can't put the Holy Spirit in a box. Trying will only lead to your own understanding and not His.....
With God behind you and His arms beneath you, you can face anything that lies ahead of you.
There is no place for prejudice, contention, and division in the body of Christ. Our only hope is through Him. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
"If you stay focused on the goal, whatever pain you might experience will be minimal and far surpassed by the ultimate gain you receive." Simply put -- don't lose sight of your purpose.
Jesus didn’t commit the Gospel to an advertising agency; He commissioned disciples.
~Joseph Bayly~
I talk to more believers who want a sign from the Lord and the truth is you don't need a sign when the Lord lives in you. Signs and wonders are for the nonbelievers.
"God never promised He would inform us ahead of time all about His plan. He's just promised He has one. Ultimately, it's for our good and His glory."

“Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterward. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.” Hudson Taylor
There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes, and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God. George Muller
The human heart has so many crannies where vanity resides, so many holes where falsehoods lurk, is so decked out with deceiving hypocrisy, that it often dupes itself. John Calvin
Gold is so strong. Overall investor caution means only the best gold juniors are rising with it. If your portfolio isn't shining yet: it takes a lot of expertise and time to find the best. I share mine.
When a preacher preaches the law, he binds all consciences; and when he preaches the gospel, he loses them again. -William Tyndale -
