I have discovered that the most difficult problem is not about finding time but convincing myself that this is important enough to find the time.

A devotional time eventually turns into a devotional lifestyle.

What we are is God’s gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.

Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

Don’t doubt in the darkness what God has given you in the light.

Only those whose souls have struck the deepest notes of penitence can reach the highest notes of praise.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Jesus, like any good fisherman, first catches the fish; then He cleans them.

It's a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand.

Satan, the Hinderer, may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.

The greatest battles are fought in the mind.

Christ is with those of humble mind, not with those who exalt themselves over his flock.

Pride is tasteless, colorless and sizeless. Yet it is the hardest thing to swallow.

Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved.

We can be overboard on belief' but bankrupt on obedience.

The reason that most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.

Reputation is character minus what you've been caught doing.

We cannot live with bitterness because it will first manifest itself in our spirit, then in our emotions, and finally in our bodies.

Few things are more infectious than a godly lifestyle. The people you rub shoulders with everyday need that kind of challenge. Not prudish. Not preachy. Just cracker jack clean living. Just honest to goodness, bone - deep, non-hypocritical integrity.

Apart from God every activity is merely a passing whiff of insignificance.

Men can heal lust. Angels can heal malice. God alone can cure pride.

Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.

We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.

He who has not forgiven an enemy has not yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.

Time is too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love — time is eternity.

Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?

The devil knows your name but calls you by your sin, God knows your sin but calls you by your name.

Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have.

The Jesus that men want to see is not the Jesus they really need to see.

Christian faith is not about knowing but about living.
