Easy Believeism...

Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone! 

~ Leonard Ravenhill

Winning -- Losing

The difference in winning and losing is most often…not quitting. 

~ Walt Disney

One More Time...

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. ~ Thomas Edison

Opportunity Knocks...

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. ~ Milton Berle

Embrace His Calling...

When God removes comforts from our lives, it's because He has a better option for us. God isn't a taker; He is a giver. God never takes away more than He plans to give back. So as we choose to embrace His calling on our lives, we also need to learn to embrace interruptions. ~ Tiffany Smiling

Weaving HOPE

The crazy thing about God is that he weaves hope into our losses, into our deepest pain, into our less than desired futures. And hope transforms. ~ A. Diaz

What Do You Think?

If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right. ~ Henry Ford

The Church...

The church is not simply a religious institution. It is not a religious theater where performers are paid to amuse those who attend. It is an assembly of redeemed sinners - men and women called unto Christ and commissioned to spread His gospel to the ends of the earth. 

~ A.W. Tozer

Dream a Dream...

You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream. ~ C.S. Lewis

Dream It...

If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want. ~ Zig Ziglar

Determined by...

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. 
~ John Homer Miller

Uncomfortable?

The next time you feel slightly uncomfortable with the pressure in your life, remember no pressure, no diamonds. Pressure is a part of success. ~ Eric Thomas

Leadership

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more; you are a leader. ~ John Adams

Communicate Simply

In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand. Communicate clearly. Communicate Simply. ~ John C. Maxwell 

Intercession is LOVE

If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer: Intercession is a way of loving others.

~ Richard J. Foster

Private Victory

Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus. ~ Stephen R. Covey

Success

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. ~  Winston Churchill

Difficult to Love...

If we find someone is difficult to love, we can invite the Holy Spirit to pour His love into our heart. When His Spirit fills our hearts, His Spirit becomes ours. Then we, too, are "gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love" (Psalm 145:8) 

~ Aletha Hinthorne

Real Love...

Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it most. Love is not appropriately expressed in threats, accusations, expressions of disappointment, or retaliation. Real love takes time, patience, help, and continuing performances. 

~ Marvin J. Ashton

Love...

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble,

Attempts what is above its strength…

It is therefore able to undertake all things, 

and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, 

where he who does not love would faint and lie down. 

~ Thomas a Kempis

A Choice...

Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice. ~ Stephen Covey

Make a Difference...

Let God’s love shine through you today in an authentic way. It’s not being cheesy, joking, or faking happiness. It’s being real. Looking at people, not through them. Showing that you care. ~ C. Hosher

Commitment...

Ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on their world. ~ John C. Maxwell

Letting Go...

Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God. 

~ Andrew Murray

Give...

When you give to others, you are blessed in ways that are hard to describe.... If you have not yet experienced this, you are missing out on one of the greatest opportunities life has to offer. ~ Stan Toler

To Love...To Forgive...

To love means loving the unlovable.

To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.

Faith means believing the unbelievable

Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Holiness Is...

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.  ~ J.C. Ryle

Shine...

Let God’s love shine through you today in an authentic way. It’s not being cheesy, joking, or faking happiness. It’s being real. Looking at people, not through them. Showing that you care. —C. Hosher
