James C. Dobson

My point is that Satan uses our keenest appetites to tempt us.

Instead, every precaution was taken not to violate his rights. Remember, many administrators have no difficulty in expelling a student who utters an unwelcome opinion about the immorality of homosexuality.

If we conform our behavior to God__ ancient moral prescription, we are entitled to the sweet benefits of life. But if we defy its imperatives, then death is the inevitable consequence. AIDS is only one avenue by which sickness and death befall those who play Russian roulette with God__ eternal moral law.

Behavior has consequences, and stupid behavior often has terrible consequences.

God Himself even "forgets" the wickedness committed by those whom He has forgiven. That's why it is never too late to clean up your life.

I thank God for schools that are serious about the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are vital to perpetuating our faith through your generation and beyond.

Resist the temptation to see yourself as a victim.

Even in that difficult hour when he knew death was imminent, he never indulged in self-pity. He knew intuitively that a person is only a victim if he accepts himself as one.

It has been my observation that whatever a person hungers for, Satan will appear to offer in exchange for a spiritual compromise.

35. God is entitled to a portion of our income__ot because He needs it but because we need to give it.

They know what they want, but aren't sure how to find it.

We have to begin giving them the whole truth about premarital sex and the difficulties it can cause.

But before you set out to make your mark, you should ask yourself, "For whom will this be done?

The bullies literally cram their will down the throats of those who are weaker.

Bundy was correct in saying that most serial murderers are addicted to hardcore pornography. FBI records validate that point. Not every person exposed to obscenity will become a killer, of course, but too many will!

Lifelong pain, an unwanted pregnancy, and even death may be the reward for such a brief window of pleasure. What a foolish gamble!

I wonder if He anticipates the day when He can make us understand what was occurring in our time of trial. I wonder if He broods over our sorrows.

If you understand this basic concept, it becomes clear that every spending decision is a spiritual decision. Waste, for example, is not a squandering of our resources. It is a poor use of His.
