“Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.”

Remember who you are. Don’t compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.

Nothing done with the focus on God is ever a waste of time.

We were made for more than compromise. We were made for God’s promises in every area of our lives.

My goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.

What if God’s ‘NO,’ is really a gift? His way to protect us from what we cannot see, provide something better than we can imagine, or be part of the process of growing us closer to Him.

Don’t let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

Satan has no power over us except what we allow. Moment by moment, decision by decision, step by step – will we operate in God’s all powerful Truth or allow Satan to entangle us in his lies?

I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.

Praying helps me see perspectives otherwise beyond me.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.

I so desperately want my words to be indicative of how deeply and completely I love my people.

No person, possession, profession, or position ever fills the cup of a wounded, empty heart. It’s an emptiness only God can fill.

Great love isn’t two people finding the perfect match in one another. Great love is two people making the choice to be a match.

There is power in simply speaking the name Jesus.

At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.

Prayer does make a difference-a life-changing, mind-blowing, earth-rattling difference.

This profound book shatters that assumption, showing that the more vital skill is asking the right questions….

Negative relationships are unpleasant but predictable.

Indeed, not all attacks-especially the bitter and ridiculing kind leveled at Darwin-are offered in good faith, but for practical purposes it is good policy to assume that they are.

God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.

Mainstream medias representation, or its guerrilla decontextualization, of black mens lives in particular can set the stage for erroneous assumptions capable of damaging an individual or a nation.

Whatever be the qualities of the man with whom a woman is united according to the law, such qualities even she assumes, like a river, united with the ocean.

Guard yourself against accusations, even if they are false; for the multitude are ignorant of the truth and look only to reputation.

Progress is a set of assumptions.
