Forgiveness prompted by love is the only way to repair the devastation that so often mars our relationships.

We don't know what will happen tomorrow, but one thing is guaranteed-God's overarching care for His children. We can be sure enough of that. In a world where nothing is sure, He is sure.

If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed. 1/3rd of the world does not have access to even one.

God loves you as though you are the only person in the world, and He loves everyone the way He loves you.

Loving the world destroys our relationship with God, it denies our faith in God, and it discounts our future with God.

A willing heart is the first step in finding God's will in our lives. We cannot expect God to force us or to plead with us about the calling in our lives.

Our impulses toward instant gratification aren't to be trusted. Hoarding our resources isn't a worthy goal. We're created with eternity in our hearts, and our lives have everlasting value.

Head knowledge without heart knowledge is worse than useless; but when head and heart join forces, it changes our lives forever.

Every child is created uniquely by God. God puts a certain formula in the heart of every child. And it is the parents' challenge to figure out the combination. We need to spend time studying, looking, listening, and observing.

The Holy Spirit can’t remind you of something you never read which is why it’s important to memorize scripture.

Find a passage today and begin laying up His words in your heart and in doing so you will be prepared for any trials that will come.

Only a relationship with Christ can satisfy our hearts. Without Him we have nothing. With Him we have all things to enjoy.

Believers talk about trusting in the Lord with their whole heart and refusing to lean on thier own understanding, but no one really knows what that means until circumstances cast them headfirst into a dark and painful place.

Amid the thousands of shrill voices screaming for our attention, there is but on Voice we need to hear. The voice of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Himself stresses that only those who grant forgiveness will receive it.

Jesus continues to offer light, joy, and peace to today's generation.

Your attitude toward the word of God is your attitude toward Jesus (Ps 37:4).

When you're facing all the issues of life and you don't know what to do, accept the fact that you are human. We all are. We don't have the capacity to understand Almighty God. But you know what?

Jesus became mortal to give you immortality; and today, through Him, you can be free.

Jesus says that those who live by God's forgiveness must imitate it. A person whose only hope is that God will not hold his faults against him forfeits his right to hold others' faults against them.

When we give our lives to Jesus Christ, the things of earth grow strangely dim. The values of eternity grow increasingly bright.

When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.

Though not everyone can attend seminary, every Christian has a seminary between two covers - the Holy Bible. God's Word is a school that trains us for the work He has planned for us on earth.

If you're anxious about the state of the world, that's understandable. But trade your anxiety for the blessing of hearing the words of Scripture, keeping them in faith and obedience, and remembering the time is near.

But evil has been around since the Garden of Eden, and God's plan for victory was designed before the world began. The Bible tells us to fear no evil.

If you need counsel, start with the One who is both Counselor and King - the One who is the source of both wisdom and power.

If you feel so lonely you could cry, take the focus off yourself. Think of how much God loves you, and find another person whom you can serve today.

Faith that is not evidenced by a life of integrity is not biblical faith at all.

Every time we deny ourselves in order to serve someone else, we grow in Christ.

Parental love is unconditional, and so is God's love. No matter what a child of God has done against Him, or feels he or she has done that cannot be forgiven, God still loves that wondering soul.

It is only as we remember and embrace His generous grace toward us that we can extend it to others.

Though it may seem overdue, righteousness is always rewarded. Don't be impatient with God. He'll never forget to reward your efforts for Him.
