Pray daily for pastors in the Slavic countries (as well as your own) that they will have wisdom and power from God to preach the Word effectually and to care for all of the saints. Pray that the convicting power of the Holy Spirit will accompany the preaching of God’s Word throughout all lands. Ask God to stir up Christians to use their God-given freedom to the fullest advantage in making known everywhere the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8). |
Recognition
To want recognition is not only human; it’s divine.
I could belong to myself if I could create myself …out of nothing.
Relationship
You don’t want to know God as an enemy; he knows too much about you.
Finding proof of God’s existence means nothing; he wants you to find him.
A healthy relationship with the Lord requires mutual trust.
Am I as interested in what God wants from me as I am in what he wants for me?
Not a few people have it backwards; they have a closer relationship with their DOG than with their GOD.
I find Christ only in proportion to how much I lose myself.
A mutually satisfying relationship with God is based on knowing and doing what pleases him.
The greater tragedy was not that Cain terminated his relationship with his brother but that his parents terminated their relationship with God.
My perception of you is colored by my perception of myself.
Am I making my heavenly Father mad, sad or glad?
Religion
Humans originate Religions; God originated a Redeemer.
Manmade religions are nothing more than a whitewash.
Your religion is only as good as your deeds, and your deeds are only as good as your motives.
Rewards
God's rewards follow good deeds the way reaping follows sowing.
In this life or the next, position has its “price”; the higher the position, the higher the price.
Why would Jesus tell us to store treasures for ourselves in heaven if — as some say — there is no way of knowing we are definitely going there?
Generosity pays generous dividends.
Right/wrong
It's better not to be sure but be right, than to be sure and be wrong.
When right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right, something is terribly wrong.
Rules
Even games have rules.
Sacrifice
God sees himself in sacrificial people.
Saints
If a skill, talent or a spiritual gift doesn’t have a corresponding handicap, it can be detrimental in the long run.
Satan
Satan is the entrapment expert.
Satan targets those who are a threat to him.
There are times when the Lord permits us to be Satan-sifted.
Satan does not question God’s existence, but he does question his Word.
We believe Satan’s lies when we disbelieve God’s truths.
God’s worst is better than Satan’s best.
Innocence drives the devil crazy.
Satan is subtle; be alert.We please Satan when we displease the Lord.
If Satan can’t get his hands on “my” money, he strongly suggests I spend it on myself — just so the Lord’s work gets little or none of it.
When I act independent of God, I follow the example of Lucifer.

The Lord will resume His dealing with the nations, as well as with the Chosen nation, when He has completed the church in this Age of Grace. God is working today “to take out” of the nations “a people for His name” (Acts 15:14). Ask God to empower every witness that is proclaiming this message of love to sinful men. Pray continually that the Holy Spirit will convict men of their need of Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). |
