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). |
Jesus Christ
Jesus is the visible copy of the invisible God.
There is a biblical Jesus and there is a Hollywood Jesus. Which one are you following?
Humanity’s key issue: Jesus Christ.
Jesus came down to earth so I could go up to heaven.
Jesus is the only person guaranteed to be your perfect role model.
Christ brings wholeness to the individual but divisiveness to society.
If you will let Jesus move in with you in this life, he will let you move in with him in the next life.
The better we know Christ, the better we know ourselves.
The only way to understand Jesus is to get to know him.
The more I want the things of Christ, the less I want the things of this world.
Christ became like us so we could become like him.
My relationship with Christ will flourish only within the divinely prescribed atmosphere.
Being molded into the image of Christ can be painful — especially when we don’t cooperate.
Are you wearing “Jesus” fragrance today?
Christ is not a rope to hang on to; he’s The Rock to stand on.
Only in Christ do I find my true identity.
God the Father sees me perfect in Christ.
It is a good day if I get to know Jesus just a little bit better.
Jesus Christ acquired my humanity because I required his divinity.
God is embodied in Christ and Christ is embodied in me.
Our Lord’s humble birth and self-sacrificing life are an example of how we too should live.
You can’t run ahead or lag behind if you are harnessed together with Jesus.
Everything and everyone is out of place, until Christ is in his proper place.
The Lord himself experiences deep personal pain and supreme sacrifice — voluntarily.
Yes, of course, I can walk on water, but only if Jesus gives me permission.
The Lord is looking for love, especially ‘first love.’
It isn’t nearly as important that “I walked today where Jesus walked,” as it is for Jesus to have walked today where I walked.
Joy
The joy of the Lord is easier demonstrated than defined.
There is such an abundance of joy in heaven that it overflows to earth.
To rejoice or not to rejoice is a choice.
If you want peace of mind, exercise the joy of the Lord.
Justice
God is as much Justice as he is grace.
God is not good if he is not just.
There are no statutes of limitations in the celestial judicial system.
Knowledge
Knowledge is not yet intelligence, which is not yet wisdom, which is not yet humility, which is not yet compassion.
Bible knowledge is not synonymous with godliness.
At age seventeen I was full of answers and had few questions; in my 80s I have far fewer answers but many more questions.
If your knowledge doesn’t get to your heart, it might go to your head.
Knowledge was meant to feed the world - not my ego.
Kingdom
The Kingdom of Heaven operates on a God Standard, not a Gold Standard.

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). |
