Temple

God does not live in stationary temples to which people go; he lives in mobile temples that go to people.

Temptation

Carry on a conversation with Temptation at your own risk.

Defy temptation before it defiles you.

Every temptation comes with a way out. 
                                   
Never trust a temptation to introduce itself honestly.

Temptations are meant to weaken us; trials are meant to strengthen us.

You will never become so spiritual that you will no longer be tempted.

You don’t know what you’re made of until you are tested…and tested…

Tests/Trials

Tests and trials are God’s spiritual trainers.

Time

Isn't it interesting how my time can be either limited or unlimited depending on who wants it?

The Lord may take his time, but he is always on time.

We are on God’s Time, in his Space, using his Resources.

Some people have time for God only when they are in trouble or when they are finding fault with him.

To “think out of the box,” you first need a box.

Time

If you think about it, the past and the future are always in the present.

Be patient; God has a timetable and he is on schedule.

It’s always time to trust God’s timing.

Tolerance

Certainly, I expect you to tolerate my intolerance.

Treasure

Christ advises us to lay up treasures in heaven - not on earth. We would be foolish not to take his advice.

Trust

It’s easy to trust in God when there’s money in my pocket.

I don’t risk as much trusting God as he risks trusting me.

How big a risk did God take when he invested in me?

If I thought God could love me more, I wouldn’t trust him.

When we understand least, we trust most.

Truth & Lies

It is easier to believe soothing lies than to accept uncomfortable truth.

Truth sets us free only because Truth is a Living Person.

We defend truth best by living it.

Truth is more readily received when placed in the sturdy box of love, gift-wrapped with the delicate paper of gentleness, tied with the beautiful ribbon of humility and presented in an atmosphere of mystery.

If you are always truthful, it is superfluous for you to add, “Honest!”

If you are always trustworthy, it is not necessary for you to say, “Trust me!”

‘Cook your books’ and you’ll ‘cook your goose.’

Understanding

I don’t understand God very well, but that's OK; he understands me perfectly.

God fully understands me even when I don’t.

Just think what would happen if I wanted to understand you as much as I want you to understand me!

Uniqueness

God brings us into this world totally unique, and we spend the rest of our lives conforming.

Unity

God loves unity but hates uniformity.

Virtue

It is much healthier to be virtuous than to pretend to be virtuous. 

Wants/needs

A lot of wants come disguised as needs.

Works

Working your way to heaven is about as easy as walking to the moon.

Nothing is boring or demeaning when done for Jesus.
