At this point in history, when everyone seems to be yelling all the time, the words of people who speak rarely and with intention carry the most weight. Watch for those who recognize the power in reserving their anger for truly important causes. Often these voices are the ones pointing us in the right direction. There is an ocean of wrongness and offense on the Internet; trying to correct it all is like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble. It is impossible and not what God has called us to.

Christy Wimber
Don’t give simple solutions to complicated situations. Sometimes what people are entangled in goes far beyond what we see. Slow to speak, quick to listen.
Katherine Walden
The moment you say you learned all you need to know about life is the moment you become a fool
Catherine Marshall
So many people never pause long enough to make up their minds about basic issues of life and death. It’s quite possible to go through your whole life, making the mechanical motions of living, adopting as your own sets of ideas you’ve come to any conclusion for yourself as to what life is all about.
C.S. Lewis
The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.
Maximos
When in the intensity of its love for God the intellect goes out of itself, then it has no sense of itself or of any created thing. For when it is illumined by the infinite light of God, it becomes insensible to everything made by Him, just as the eye becomes insensible to the stars when the sun rises.
Katherine Walden
Place spiritual noise-cancelling headphones on, drown out all voices but His. The fear of the ‘what-ifs’ of tomorrow should never have a say in the decisions you make today. Off-the-cuff decisions based on fearful speculation are never wise.
Corallie Buchanan
You see limitations; God sees opportunities. You see faults; God sees growth. You see problems; God sees solutions. You see limitations; God sees possibilities. You see life; God sees eternity.
Bobby Connors
God will offend our minds to expose how calloused our hearts have become.
Derek Prince
I have spent countless hours counseling Christians with problems, and have come to the conclusion that there are limits to what can be accomplished by counseling. I would say at least fifty percent of most Christians’ problems are due to the fact that they have not repented. I suggest that if you are struggling with problems in your Christian experience, ask yourself if you have truly repented. Turn totally from everything displeasing to God and yield yourself to Him in unconditional surrender.
