* Sacrifice is slow as a funeral procession in rush-hour traffic. It’s the sort of word that other words pass while honking. (Jennie Walker)
* I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency: I am ready for anything and equal to everything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me.
* Offense is a choice, just as God's love is a choice. We choose who we serve by our choices.
* The Christian life is not an imitation of Christ; it is a participation in Christ, becoming “partakers of the divine nature.”
* Deception is blinding... blinding Christians to their own hypocrisy, and blinding others from seeing their light, hidden under the basket of their hypocrisy.
* As Christians we are more concerned with God altering our earthly condition then recognizing our heavenly position in Him.
* It is never the trial that makes us stronger. It is what we choose to do with it that strengthens us, so choose wisely.
* The cross is the signature of God, endorsing His new and final covenant with mankind.
* Man’s capacity for justice makes mercy possible; but man’s inclination toward injustice makes mercy necessary.
* Passionate personal godliness is visual, truth on display, as the life of Christ – His nature in us – flows forth. Some call it light...
* We must be careful when sharing God’s truth not to square the circle of inherent offensiveness truth draws forth from a hard heart.
* God cannot be to us the life of God without being the death of Self. The fretful, greedy, fussy, self-centered, lustful, hateful “flesh-life” must die for the abundant life to live.
* We must drink deep of the word of God, for shallow draughts intoxicate the brain and drinking deep sobers one again.
* No one grows in the Lord or in their capacity to serve the Lord unless they are pressed beyond measure.
* Prayer is understanding what God wants to do, then asking Him to do it.
* God tugs us toward His kingdom with cords of adversity while captivating us with His chains of love.
* Jesus never offered us freedom from slavery. He took the form of a slave to demo for us God’s divine slavery which is true freedom.
* All difficulties are within God’s purposes. All? Yes... All!
