“Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.”

Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable.

What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.

The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.

You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.

We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.

Whenever you feel unimportant, unloved, or insecure, remember to who you belong.

Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God’s face.

Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.

If your activities don’t match your priorities, you are wasting your life.

Doing the easy thing makes you popular. Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

Worship isn’t an event to attend & watch. It’s a lifestyle to be lived.

Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It’s a journey of discovery – there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.

Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.

The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God.

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.

Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result. It’s vulnerability that breeds with self-doubt and then is escalated, often deliberately, by fear.

If you’re not frightened that you might fail, you’ll never do the job. If you’re frightened, you’ll work like crazy.

When talent fails, indignation writes the verse.

Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful.

Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.
