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). |
Death
From God’s perspective, there is no such thing as an untimely death.
Debating
The nice thing about being right is you don't have to raise your voice when debating with an individual.
Deeds
I think it's better to have good deeds destroyed by God's test of fire than have nothing to test.
Faith only gets me to heaven; my deeds decide my position there.
There is no one and nothing God cannot handle on my behalf - with or without my participation.
Depression
A compliment a day – given or taken -- keeps depression away.
Diet
I am beginning to allow myself to suspect there sometimes might be a remote link between overeating and overweight.
In the energetic pursuit of significant weight loss, moving one’s mouth doesn’t count.
Discipline
There are times when God gives us an infirmity, not as punishment but as a deterrent.
How well I cross LIFE’S FINISH LINE depends on how well I have trained.
God’s reprimands are to be treasured more than this world’s rewards.
God’s discipline is an expression of his love.
Doubt
Doubt your doubts, not your faith.
There is one very good reason I need to give you the benefit of the doubt: I am not God.
Economy
Nothing goes to waste in God's economy.
Encouragement
There is healing both in receiving encouragement and in giving it.
Evaluate
(Tongue-in-cheek): I don’t judge people; I just evaluate them.
Evangelism
Christians are The Illustrated Edition of the Gospel.
Sunday church services should inspire us to ‘show and tell’ Jesus during the week.
Man wants to reach the stars; God wants to reach earthlings.
If you have not already done so voluntarily, you definitely will kneel before Christ, though unwillingly.
Authentic revival or genuine spiritual awakening cannot — humanly — be predicted, planned or programmed.
Evil
All too often, evil is more zealous to win converts than is good.
Excuses
I have legitimate reasons; everybody else has lame excuses.
Adam and Eve didn’t have to learn to make excuses or shift blame; it just came naturally.
Existence, God’s
Simply acknowledging the existence of God resolves nothing.
There wasn’t a time when God wasn’t.
Acknowledging the existence of God is more a matter of conscience than of science.
I cannot say there is no God until I know everything — visible and invisible — that there is to know about the entire universe.
Although we cannot prove God’s existence, we can experience him.
To be everlasting in the future, God would have to be eternal in the past.
God’s existence is proved in the Person of Jesus Christ.
God was not made; he just was.
