When Tragedy Strikes...

When plans go awry, tragedy strikes your family, the work for which you labored disintegrates and falls apart, praise the Lord anyway. For when you praise the Lord, your attention is diverted from the situation and circumstances back to the Lord.

~ Jerry Rankin

Cross...

Not Safe...

"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver, "don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course He isn't safe. But He's good. He's the King I tell you." ~ C.S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia)

The Only Way...

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.
~ A. W. Tozer

Draw a Crowd or Build a Church?

The essence of satan's temptation for Jesus was trying to get Him to draw a crowd rather than build a Church. ~ Henry Blackaby

See Rightly

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Holiness...


Too often, “holiness” is equated with stale antiquated legalism rather than thirsting for that which only the Holy Spirit can quench. ~ M.E. Anderson

His Likeness

When we are formed into His likeness, we step into our neighborhoods with a unique love, grace, and joy like Jesus who lays down His life for His friends, neighbors, and strangers ~ Tara Beth Leach

Stop Negotiating

We must stop negotiating with evil. We Christians must stop apologizing for our moral position and start making our voices heard, exposing sin for the enemy of the human race which it surely is. ~ A. W. Tozer

Prayer...

Prayer penetrates doors we will never enter. Prayer breaks hearts that have been hardened by the most ruthless pursuit of position. Prayer bridges the gap between the modest den of the meek and the highest places of government, where laws are made and bills are signed and officials wrestle against impossible odds. ~ Beth Moore

Power of Prayer...



When prayer has become secondary, or incidental, it has lost its power. Those who are conspicuously men of prayer are those who use prayer as they use food, or air, or light, or money. ~ M.E. Andross

Prayer...

All prayer...is to be God-centered, ever admitting that prayer does not change God. It should change us. The prayer that does not is not prayer at all. 
~ Peter Beck

Unholiness...

We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing. ~ A. W. Tozer

Listen, Trust & Obey

Pray that the Holy Spirit instills with in us, individually and corporately, the desire to hear clearly and obey immediately when HE speaks.

Humility


A humble person is not one who thinks little of himself, hangs his head and says "I am nothing." Rather, he is someone who depends wholly on the Lord for everything, in every circumstance.

~ David Wilkerson

Change...


When we are no longer able to change a situation, 
we are challenged to change ourselves.

Definition of Beauty

Whose definition of beauty do we live by, the world's or the Father's? The Church has been impressed with what has attracted men. If our goal is to attract men to the Church, then what they think will govern our actions. Do we yearn to be attractive in Jesus' sight? ~ Donald Rumble

Prayer...

  1. Is prayer changing me?
  2. Is prayer making any difference in my life?
  3. Is my prayer life bringing me closer to the Lord?
  4. Am I moving toward giving control of my life to God?
  5. Do I constantly try to tune into God's presence?
  6. Are any my prayers helping me develop a more loving relationship with others?
     If you answered no to any of these questions, then one more question comes to mind: WHY NOT?
