Scandalizingly Extravagant

"The longer I walk with the Lord, the more I become aware of the unfathomable depth of His grace and mercy in our lives. God’s grace really is amazing. His love is scandalizingly extravagant."
~ Tennent

Character

"Oh, young man, character is worth more than money..." ~ Dwight Lyman Moody

Common Ground

"You will never develop common ground with your teammates unless you share common experiences. Time together while working as a team is essential, but so is spending time together outside that setting. Work to make connections with teammates. Do things socially. Spend time with the families. Find ways to share your life." ~ John C. Maxwell

Evidence?

‎"Let us beware of repentance without evidence." ~ J.C. Ryle

How Does Revival Start?

"God's program for reviving His people is definite and clear. First Elijah repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down. That is the place to begin. All the ruin that sin has wrought must be cleared away by confession. Things must be made right with God; restitution must be made where it is due. Unless this is done definitely and thoroughly, prayer for reviving is vain. Too many are praying today without repairing the altar by confession of sin, without digging a trench of separation from the world and without a surrender that is even unto death. No wonder such prayer is fruitless." ~ Andrew Gih

Deathbed

"Soon you will read in the newspaper that I am dead. Don't believe it for a moment. I will be more alive than ever before...Earth recedes...Heaven opens before me." ~ D.L. Moody (on his deathbed)

Obedience

"Greatness in the kingdom of God is measured in terms of obedience." ~ Stott

Death Explained

"Death is like a great ocean, and we are on this shore seeing people depart. But every ocean has two shores, and every person we see depart is seen as arriving on that other shore. Death is not the end.

Just as birth was our ticket to this world, so death is our ticket to the next. It is less of an end than a beginning. If I told you today I would move you from the slums to a beautiful country estate, you would not focus on the life you were ending but the life you were beginning."

~ Randy Alcorn (Death: Signing and Framing Your Life's Portrait)

All the Good Things

“All the good things of life are less than nothing when compared with his love . . . All the treasures of a million worlds could not make me richer, happier, more contented, for his unsearchable riches are mine.” ~ Valley of Vision (as quoted by Nancy Leigh DeMoss)

You Must Change

“God will not compromise and He need not be coaxed. He cannot be persuaded to alter His Word nor talked into answering selfish prayer. In all our efforts to find God, to please Him, to commune with Him, we should remember that all change must be on our part.” ~ A.W.Tozer

The Church Must Care...

"The church is called to do many things, but if the church does not take care of its own people, it is not functioning as the church of Jesus Christ. The church is the body of Christ, and the members of the body must care for each other. That doesn’t mean that the church should ignore needs outside of the body. The church should reach out to all people with the love of Christ, but if the church does not take care of its own, it has ceased to function as the church." ~ Ray Fowler

Pray and Act

‎"When people are sick ~ keep praying, but come over and sweep too!" ~ Wise words from my Grampa September 2011.

Only Him

"Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul. Therefore, fix on Him in all, through all, and above all." ~ J. Wesley

Nothing Is Impossible for...

"Nothing is impossible for the People of God who trust in the power of God to accomplish the will of God." ~ David Platt
