“To be peacemaker, you must know the peace giver.”

All around you are people whose lives are filled with trouble and sorrow, and they need your compassion and encouragement.

God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice.

Someday your life will be over, no matter how much attention you give to your health. Will you look back with regret, because you nourished your body but starved your soul?

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God’s love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

No matter who you are or what your life has been like so far, the rest of your life’s journey can be different. With God’s help you can begin again.

We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?

It is the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge and my job to love.

Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality.

Ask God to show you His plans, not bless your dreams

My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world. It rests in Christ who is coming again.

If you find a perfect church don’t join it: You’d spoil it.

To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees.

If God can be fully proved by the human mind, then He is no greater than the mind that proves Him.

No matter how dark and hopeless a situation might seem, never stop praying.

We can change the course of events if we go to our knees in believing prayer.

There comes a moment when we all must realize that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us.

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

Familiar things are a comfort to us all.

I like these calm little moments before the storm, it reminds me of Beethoven.

In my experience, it’s all wonderful with girls until about 16. Around that time, boys kind of calm down and start focusing their testosterone. Girls get a little challenging, especially for fathers.

I don’t know how electricity works. All I know is that it calms me.

Calmness will always produce solutions. No revolution ever began without a sharp exhale.

Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.

Sundays are for moving gently, breathing softly, and living slowly.
