In Scripture, God has described Himself to us in great detail. How can you recognize or understand God's meaning in an experience if you are unfamiliar with who He says He is? What can you do today to begin to know God better?
We are to proclaim the biblical message from God and do it in genuineness, knowing our God is watching.
"It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love." ~ Miguel de Unamuno
"Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due." ~ William Ralph Inge
"Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul." ~ Wayne Dyer
When you and I allow God to turn our mess into our message, He not only changes our lives, but He changes the lives of others too.

The best thing we can do for our friends is to love them and point them to Jesus.
Among people’s greatest fears is that of abandonment. It’s engrained in us since we lost the fellowship of the Father in Eden.
We focus on our own dread of abandonment, but God’s Spirit is grieved by our absence. His Love is still with you, reach out to him.
I believe there are two options for America's future: judgment or revival. My prayer is that she will experience revival.
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers- Garth Brooks
*Your mountains may be big, but your God is even bigger.
Godly sincerity concerning God's word is another characteristic with which the Lord desires to mark us by His grace. "For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity…we speak." The manner in which we relate to the word of God is a high priority to our Lord. In the early church, some were already relating wrongly to God's word: "peddling the word of God." They were using the Scriptures for self-gain.
Why are we told to count the cost and do when it comes to Godly things like ministry and have such a hard time with doing it for one another? Lay down your life for a friend today...
Know clicks no unity! Avoid them...
This is a time in history when millions of us need to stand up for God, His glory, and His righteousness. It's a task only possible for those who are "more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Today, let God fully get into your life, and let Him fill you with all of the blessings and riches that are in Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:27). Get into the Word of God, study it, and let it soak into your soul. Let your heart come alive as you read this amazing revelation of God. And the more you do, the more you will continue to see that we are more than conquerors--not average--through Jesus Christ.
Want to bring focus to your life? Do what Jesus did. Go home, love your family, and take care of business! Your first mission field is under your roof. What makes you think they’ll believe you overseas if they don’t believe you across the hall?
There are no days when God’s fountain does not flow.
~Richard Owen Roberts~
It is strange how little use we make of the spiritual blessings that God gives us, but it is even stranger that we make such little use of God Himself. Though He is "our God," we scarcely give ourselves to Him, and we ask so little of Him.
from “Morning and Evening,” written by C.H. Spurgeon,
I am more impressed with someone who has, for instance, stayed with their spouse than someone who may have some huge ministry (not that you can't have both). But the key is to finish what we have started, and to finish it well, because if you run first place in a race for every lap except the last, it doesn't matter.
First the enemy challenged God's word
Then he challenged God's Love
and when that did not work he tried changing the word.
Verse by verse, line upon line, and precept upon precept!
Isaiah 28:10
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Often times we make up our own God by picking and choosing what we like instead of submitting to the full counsel of the word and His love.
Pastor Dennis Davenport
TAKE YOUR EYES OFF YOUR MATE AND CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD!
Only God can change you through the power of the Holy Spirit. It starts by Him filling you.....
Being committed to the Lord and enjoying His sweet fellowship will give you hope and strengthen your faith.
Give the love God gives to you away freely, abundantly, wisely, and with a grateful heart.
Ray Bently
If you placed the Old Testament and New Testament together, you could write obedience all the way through.
“Grace is getting another chance even though you haven’t earned it or deserve it.
(You may not even want it!)”
Fritz Ridenour
The Bible is not only a book which was once spoken
but a book which is now speaking.
~A.W.Tozer~
A true revival is to be looked for in the church of God.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
We have to remember the church is the individual believer and not the building itself. We don't go to church we are the church. In 1Corinthians 11 Paul said to examine your self concerning the Lord's supper. Let us, therefore, remain in communion with Him and always examine our selves.
….relax in the omnipotence of the Lord Jesus; look up into His lovely face and as you behold Him, He will transform you into His likeness. You do the beholding, He does the transforming. There is no shortcut to holiness.
~Alan Redpath
The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
~Oswald Sanders~
When we align our lives with God’s purposes, we rebuke the devil and our negative circumstances. -Doug Stringer
We must learn to wrestle with God and passionately pursue His blessing on our lives. -Doug Stringer

"IF PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS DON'T ADD BETTER TO YOUR LIFE; THEY DON'T BELONG IN YOUR LIFE, SUBTRACT ACCORDINGLY!"
"NEVER CONFUSE WHAT YOU'RE OFFERED WITH WHAT YOU'RE WORTH!"
A NEW CHURCH WILL NOT CHANGE THE SAME OLD YOU. STOP RELOCATING YOUR CHILDISHNESS AND STAY PLANTED SO YOU CAN FINALLY GROW INTO MATURITY.
IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR WALK WITH GOD, ONCE IN AWHILE, STOP RUNNING AROUND THE CHURCH, SIT DOWN, LISTEN AND LEARN. THERE'S A TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING.
"EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD SHOULD NOT END UP ON YOUR TIMELINE. ALWAYS EXERCISE DISCRETION."
YOU'LL SEE GREATER CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU STOP APPLAUDING SERMONS AND START APPLYING THEM. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO LISTEN, YOU HAVE TO LEARN.
Around the world Christians are persecuted, because they're a part of the Church. Discomfort is expected & strengthens their faith. In the U.S. people walk away from the Church, because things don’t go their way. Discomfort shocks us & crushes our faith. We have a lot to learn.
Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice. A.W. Tozer
Jesus calls us to His rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort. A.W. Tozer
History! Try to explain the history of the world without God! You cannot. - Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Michael Reeves
Read the Bible as if it’s all about you and it will be dark and confusing. Read the Bible knowing it’s about Jesus and it’s light and cheering and wonderful.
Those who expose hypocrites, resist tyrants and oppose the wicked are ever viewed by them as troublemakers. -A.W. Pink -
If you're going to be a true Christian...it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower -Leonard Ravenhill -
"People today need good expository preaching to help them understand, experience and apply the text." - Jim Wilson
Exposition alone is not preaching. A minister who only presents the grammatical and historical meaning of God’s Word may be lecturing or discoursing, but he isn’t preaching. —Joel Beeke
Jerry Bridges
We fear the Lord, or reverence Him, by bringing glory to His name, which involves first of all a response to Him and second a reflection of Him to others.
The wise Christian will watch for opportunities to do good, to speak the life-bringing word to sinners, to pray the rescuing prayer of intercession. -Tozer
Much of the life of faith consists in letting things alone. If we wholly trust an interest to God we can keep our hands off it, and He will guard it for us better than we can help Him. AB Simpson
He is not seen, not because he cannot be seen, but because we cannot bear the sight of him. We who cannot behold the sun in its glory, are too too weak to bear the beams of Infinite Brightness. —John Owen, Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers, 135
The Lord shall turn no one away who in truth comes unto Him through Christ—even if for so many years you have been disobedient to this friendly offer; even if until now your entire life has been nothing but sin. —Wilhelmus à Brakel, The Christian's Reasonable Service, 1:450
"The gospel is all about Christ from beginning to end." – Charles Spurgeon
"Tell your suffering into the ears of God. As sure as the Bible is true, he will not leave you." — Charles Spurgeon

“Once in Christ, in Christ forever! Nothing from his love can sever.” — Charles Spurgeon
“Up to the early 1700s, British Protestants preached on God's plan for the church. From the mid-1700s, however, evangelicals emphasized God's plans for the individual.” - Mark Noll

There is no allowance whatever in the New Testament for the man who says he is saved by grace but who does not produce the graceful goods. Jesus Christ by His Redemption can make our actual life in keeping with our religious profession.
OSWALD CHAMBERS
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One Who is leading.
God not only wants our lives characterized with godly sincerity toward His word, He desires to mark our lives with godly sincerity in general. "We conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity…and more abundantly toward you." As the Apostle Paul and his missionary team evangelized throughout the known world, and as they ministered among the churches, they functioned in both arenas with simple, Christlike genuineness.
