raise

We are quick to surrender that which we deem as long dead, when God is quick to restore that which He deems as never really having lived.

The yardstick that we frequently use to determine if something can be restored is based on the handful of inches that we bring to the process, when God shows up with an infinite amount of miles.

Many men remain spoiled boys that have never grown up. Women are prepared to raise them and take pain with patience, both as a condescendant contribution to supercilious compassion and as a proof of the eminence of their sense of worth. ("Prêt-_-penser" / "Ready-to-wear thinking")

The answer to the question __ow many children do you have?_ and the one to the question __ow many children are you raising?_ are not identical in all cases: some men are not taking care of their own children, some are knowingly or unknowingly raising other men__ children, and some do not even know that they each have a child, another child, or other children.

Young people today are deeply passionate and crave authentic life based on truth. They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.

Two things are needed to raise awareness: education and love. And these go hand in hand because we can be taught to love.

No one chooses to raise children alone.

For I can raise no money by vile means.

Every Nigerian must begin to raise their voice against our societal failures and call them as such at every juncture. In this way we could all bring about a modern, progressive and civilized society.

Too often we assume that God has increased our income to increase our standard of living, when his stated purpose is to increase our standard of giving. (Look again at 2 Corinthians 8:14 and 9:11).

To Be Raised Without An Earthly Father Is Never An Excuse Not To Discover Purpose

You must remember that you are called to save and set others free, to raise and develop strong and powerful leaders, who will form the government of the nations for Christ

The church is God__ elect that God wants to raise in the country to give hope to everyone

I didn't raise you I be good and weak. I raised you to be powerful and happy.

Ionizing smoke detectors unnaturally raise the background radiation levels in the human environment.

If I can draw the slightest smile across a single face obliterated by pain, in that act I will have begun to understand the power of an ordinary human being to perform the seemingly impossible in the life of another human being. And how can that experience do anything less than drive me to try and make the world smile.
