I sometimes throw out this thought-provoking question to unsuspecting audiences: “Which one is more spiritual – raising the dead or washing the dishes?” Nearly always, someone blurts out, “raising the dead!” Then he or she backtracks on their response. Honestly, that is the automatic inward response of most everyone. We believe it is more “spiritual” to do something supernatural, when the simple answer is that it’s more pleasing to God to do whatever He asks. So it can be far more spiritual and pleasing to God to do the dishes, if that is what the Father asks of us.  

Samuel Logan Brengle

Holiness is not some lofty experience, unattainable except to those who can leap the stars, but it is rather a lowly experience, which lowly people in the lowly walks of life can share with Jesus, by letting His mind be in them.

Charles Stanley

Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.

Bob Goff

We're following a God we can’t see, for a lifetime we can't measure, to a heaven we can't comprehend, because of grace we didn’t earn. Be patient with each other. We're all looking through a knothole at eternity trying to figure our lives out today.

Dan McCollam

Proverbs 18:16 "A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men." David did everything a king could do before he even sat on the throne. By the time he was actually in the office of king, it was obvious to everyone he belonged there.  

Joyce Meyer

Happiness is not a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness. Joyce Meyer Daily Christian Quote Website ---------

Lu Niebergall

If we have a call to lead many, how well are we loving and caring for those God has placed around us? Sometimes we can get so lost in the idea of our "grand call" that we forget about loving the one in front of us; we forget about discipling those who God has entrusted to us. We must remember that God entrusts nations to those with the heart of a shepherd.  

Francis A. Schaeffer

Our trusting the Lord does not mean that there are not times of tears. I think it is a mistake as Christians to act as though trusting the Lord and tears are not compatible.  

Ed Silvoso

What if I pray and nothing happens? You may wonder. I don’t want God’s reputation damaged. What if you don’t pray? Nothing will happen! Prayer is the most tangible trace of eternity in the human heart; even atheists have prayed in moments of desperation. When you let the lost know that you are praying prayers of faith for their felt needs, you touch them at the heart level.  

Vance K Jackson

Before you speak, choose to listen to the heart of the matter. Before you abruptly make a move, choose to hear all the facts. Before you proceed to execute, choose to listen to wise counsel. Before you pursue, pray and seek God for His instruction.
