When the bill comes due, the wages of wilful sin must be paid in full.
Sometimes people can't see past us to hear our message. We never have a second chance to leave a first impression.
Think before you applaud. Is it the best way to give God your praise? Is it appropriate? Is it necessary? Would silence be better?
If you don't do your part, who will?
Give yourself permission to soar...then jump!
Whatever it is you're facing, stand strong. Walk in quiet confidence, not veiled pride. Be sure without being stubborn...firm without being unteachable...enduring but not discourteous...full of truth balanced with grace.
And so...let's never lose relevance as we continue our work of reforming. Let's never bore people with the gospel. Let's never think that Christianity is something we must keep to ourselves and fearfully protect. Let's stay in the trenches of real-world involvements.
Nothing touches us that has not first passed through His hands.
If God's people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be—it must be—compassion.
We need to be alert. Sometimes the best of times may be a breeding ground for the worst of times.
