Your Christian lifestyle should speak so much louder than your Christian vocabulary.

Every father is called first to be a faithful Christian, second a faithful husband, third a faithful father. If he doesn’t love God and his wife as Scripture commands, his failure in those areas will make his success in others irrelevant.

“It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their (the communists’) terms. It was a deal; we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching. They were happy beating us. So everyone was happy.”

Dr. Caroline Leaf cites studies that prove, “DNA actually changes shape according to our thoughts.” She explains that the harmful effects of destructive DNA codes were “reversed by feelings of love, joy, appreciation, and gratitude!”
Just because they’re not “your person” doesn’t mean they’re not a good person.
And just because they’re a good person doesn’t mean they’re “your person.”

“It is only with gratitude that life becomes rich!”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Progression in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.
~A.W. Tozer~
Gratitude never comes from avoiding difficulty, but from finding yourself sustained through it. The degree of joy rises to the degree of gratitude, and the level of gratitude corresponds to the level of God’s grace experienced in our suffering.

In our manner of speech, our plans of living, our dealings with others, our conduct and walk in the church and out of it-all should be done as becomes the Gospel.
~Albert C. Barnes~
“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.”—
C.S. Lewis
Theologians speak of common grace, electing grace, irresistible grace, persevering grace, prevenient grace, pursuing grace, and saving grace.
But to the sinner, it's always AMAZING GRACE!

There is a place where strength can always be renewed; that place is the presence of the Lord.
R.A. Torrey
God gives grace to the humble. Trials and suffering humble our hearts and stir us to cry out to the Lord for His necessary grace. This direct link between suffering and grace can be seen in Paul's most persistent trial of suffering. "Lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me…Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me" (2 Corinthians 12:7-8).
Bob Hoekstra
Legitimate worship consists of thinking, believing, and living for God’s glory and honor.

Cultivating gratitude proves difficult for people whose worldview leaves them with nobody to thank! They must thank their “lucky stars,” or at best, other people. Since the object of their gratitude is small, their capacity for happiness shrinks
Randy Alcorn
“The people of God ought to be the happiest people in all the wide world!” He offered this explanation in his book The Attributes of God (vol. 1):
Goodness is that in God which desires the happiness of His creatures and that irresistible urge in God to bestow blessedness [happiness]. The goodness of God takes pleasure in the pleasure of His people. . . . For a long time, it has been drummed into us that if we are happy, God is worried about us. We believe He’s never quite pleased if we are happy. But the strict, true teaching of the Word is that God takes pleasure in the pleasure of His people, provided His people take pleasure in God.
A.W. Tozer
Jesus, the innocent Lamb of God, stands between our sin and the judgment of God the Father.
~Billy Graham~
You are not better at sinning than Jesus is at forgiving.
There is more grace in Jesus than there is sin in you.
Luke Lezon
Sometimes the way God works is mysterious; other times magnificent, but one thing we know for certain -- He is always right.

The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.
~D.L. Moody~
“There are two hundred and fifty-six names given in the Bible for the Lord Jesus Christ, and I suppose this was because He was infinitely beyond all that any one name could express.”—
Billy Sunday
True humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.
~C.S. Lewis~
