“True holiness isn’t cold and deadening – it’s warm and inviting. It’s irresistible. Those who think otherwise have never seen it, but only its caricatures.”1
“Worship is a believer’s response to God’s revelation of Himself. It is expressing wonder, awe, and gratitude for the worthiness, the greatness, and the goodness of our Lord. It is the appropriate response to God’s person, His provision, His power, His promises, and His plan.”
“Brokenness is the stripping of self-reliance and independence from God. The broken person has no confidence in his own righteousness or his own works, but he is cast in total dependence upon the grace of God working in and through him.”
“An evidence that our will has been broken is that we begin to thank God for that which once seemed so bitter, knowing that His will is good and that, in His time and in His way, He is able to make the most bitter waters sweet.”
“Revival is not just an emotional touch; it’s a complete takeover!”
“Again and again, God’s Word reveals that He is not as concerned about the depth or extent of the sin we commit as He is about our attitude and response when we are confronted with our sin.”
“Subconsciously perhaps, we tend to think of certain sins as ‘mostly harmless’- especially if we’ve played with them for years and never been seriously bitten. …What makes sin so heinous and grievous is that it is against God…for it violates His holy law and character.”
“The Word, circumstances, and other believers – these can all be tools to show us our need and create opportunities to choose the pathway of brokenness. The Spirit of God is the arm that wields each of these instruments to bring us to a point of brokenness. However, we must respond to His initiative.”
“We want gain without pain; we want the resurrection without going through the grave; we want life without experiencing death; we want a crown without going by way of the Cross. But in God’s economy, the way up is down.”
“Contentment is just the realization that God has already provided for me today all that I need for my present peace and happiness.”
“I have learned that in every circumstance that comes my way, I can choose to respond in one of two ways: I can whine or I can worship! And I can’t worship without giving thanks. It just isn’t possible. When we choose the pathway of worship and giving thanks, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances, there is a fragrance, a radiance, that issues forth out of our lives to bless the Lord and others.”
“God is good whether or not His choices seem right to us, whether or not we feel it, whether or not it seems true, and whether or not He gives us everything that we want.”
“Is the gratitude that flows out of your life as abounding as the grace that has flowed into your life?”
“Obedience is the pathway to blessing. It’s the means of protection. It’s the means of joy. It’s the means to finding God’s best in our lives.”
“Instead of fixing all your problems, God may be wanting to use your problems to teach you to trust and obey Him.”
“Every selfish, sinful, or indulgent choice I make today is sowing a seed that will reap a multiplied harvest. And every act of obedience is a seed that will produce a multiplied harvest of blessing in my life and in the lives of those I love.”
“God can be trusted. He keeps His promises. He doesn’t make any mistakes.”
“I am convinced that the influence of an army of godly women will be incalculable–in our homes, our churches, and our culture. Will you be one of those women?”
“Gratitude unleashes the freedom to live content in the moment, rather than being anxious about the future or regretting the past.”
“Unlike any other book that has ever been written, the Bible is alive; and it comes with a personal Tutor-the Holy Spirit, who lives in us.”
“Keep in mind that it is not enough that we should just read the Word. The object is that the words that are printed on the page would become indelibly written on our hearts. God never intended that we should merely get onto His Word-His intent is that the Word should get into us.”
“The promises of God provide a powerful antidote to all our fears and free us to step out in faith and surrender.”
“What a stunning picture this gives us of God’s amazing providence—His ability to look ahead, know exactly what is coming, and make provision for us before we even get there. He is not only a God who can help us handle our current issues and pressures but One who has already prepared comfort, help, and blessing for problems that aren’t even on our horizon.”
