God has one plan for your life but ten thousand ways to get you there. If one part of your life fails — business, relationships, finances, etc. He will still be faithful to fulfill His plan for you.

Albert Haase

It takes a lot of emotional and psychological energy to keep a wound open, to keep a grudge alive. The longer I allow a wound to fester, the more bitterness, anger and self-pity poison my blood and eat at my heart.

Charles R Swindoll

Great character, like massive roots, grow deep when water is sparse and winds are strong.

Kris Vallotton

Nobody should have to willingly submit to someone who abuses him or her. Love is weightier and therefore takes precedence over submission every time. Truth must have order or it becomes a destructive perversion, a dangerous counterfeit or a devious delusion.

Samuel Chadwick

Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize, and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but it takes heart to comfort.

A W Tozer

We Christians should know that our unchristian conduct cannot be kept in our own back yard. The evil birds of sin fly far and influence many to their everlasting loss. The sin committed in the privacy of the home will have its effect in the assembly of the saints. The minister, the deacon, the teacher who yields to temptation in secret becomes a carrier of moral disease whether he knows it or not. The church will be worse because one member sins. The polluted stream flows out and on, growing wider and darker as it affects more and more persons day after day and year after year.

Graham Kendrick

A sinful act involves worship of the wrong kind, submitting ourselves at that moment to serve the appetites of our pride or lust, and so repentance is literally a transfer of our worship back to the One who rightfully owns it..... Worship has been misunderstood as something that arises from a feeling which "comes upon you," but it is vital that we understand that it is rooted in a conscious act of the will, to serve and obey the Lord Jesus Christ. The feelings, the joy of having been forgiven, follow on as a consequence of our reunion with him.

Changing the human heart and changing human society are not separate tasks, but are as interconnected as the two beams of the cross.

Psalm 23 says The Lord is my Shepherd, which means you are a sheep. The Bible says that He is the Potter and we are the clay, which means you are the clay, not the potter, it is not your job to shape you and it is not your job to lead you. It is your job to be dependent on the Potter and upon the Shepherd, upon the Comforter, and upon the One who leads you. Your job is to be led.  

Matthew Henry

Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.
