May you find comfort by reading and mediation on God__ word.

God__ Word is written for you and to you, but it won__ help unless you read it.

It__ utterly astounding that every time I get knocked down God__ mercy compassionately raises me to my feet; His grace thoroughly brushes off every trace of assorted filth I accumulated in the fall, His word precisely recalibrates my direction to insure the success of a journey resumed, and once all of that is completed He gently leans over and whispers, __ow about another run?

Faith, prayer, and the Word of God are the weapons God provides you with to fight spiritual battles.

Jesus reveals who He is through the living Word.

Thy word O God is the Truth.

We often use the Bible as a source for personal validation and defense, a sidekick and a shield, but these will prove ineffective without first the other part. We must also allow ourselves to be wounded by it. We tend to forget its authority - that it is a double-edged sword. Our decrepit, depraved hearts must be completely ripped out in order to welcome that of God.

A Christian who rebels against God__ Word is not a Christian at all

Let the love not escape from within.

Do not come into agreement with fear. Activate your faith, live in victory, speak over your life and expect great things to come your way.

Let your life reflect the faith you have in God. Fear nothing and pray about everything. Be strong, trust God's word, and trust the process.

Don__ underestimate the importance of reading and understanding God__ Word.

The Christian has been drawn unto Christ. Those who wish to boast in having something to do with their salvation, or who insist that the final decision lays with man, resist the clear meaning of Christ's words, "draw." But this is a wondrous term. It is beautiful to hear. Drawn in love. Drawn in mercy. Drawn unto the one who died in my place. It is sovereign action, undertaken by the one who holds the entire universe by His power. It is an irresistible drawing, most definitely, but is a drawing of grace. The one drawing loves the one who is being drawn. And those drawn can never be thankful enough to God who brought them out of darkness into the marvelous light of Christ.

There is only one way of salvation. Men are sinful rebels against God, by nature, enemies of holiness and He who is holy. Dominated by sin, ruled over by evil, we are helpless to even drag ourselves toward the true and holy God, even if we wanted to! We are dead in sin. "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love which he loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ" (Ephesians 2:4-5). The Father, in His infinite mercy and grace, saved us in Christ Jesus.

The only way you're going to reach places you've never gone is if you trust God's direction to do things you've never done.

Don__ let your personal desires distort the standards established in God__ Word.

It__ not what you get, but what you give that is God__ true measure of a life.

The ability to discern truth comes from learning, growing, and understanding the Bible.
