THE ABCs OF GOD'S SALVATION
A = All have sinned.
B = Behold he Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
C = Come to Christ for peace, pardon, and eternal life.
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." - Plato
"Recovery is a process, not an event." - Unknown
"It is not a question of whether you 'have what it takes,' but of whether you take the gifts you have--they are plenteous--and share them with all the world." - Neale Donald Walsch
"What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity." - J. Sidlow Baxter
"We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated." - Maya Angelou
"If people knew how hard I worked to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful." - Michelangelo
"Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'" - Unknown
"Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth, or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so our lives matter, so the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it."
Lance Briggs during the offseason after the Chicago Bears offered him $7.2 million to occupy 16 of his Sundays playing football: "I've played my last snap for them. I'll never play another down for Chicago again." He signed with the Bears on Wednesday for $7.2 million.
"If genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, I wind up sharing elevators with a lot of bright people." - Unknown
Why don't you ever see the headline: "PSYCHIC WINS LOTTERY"?
Be as patient with others as God has been with you.
Enthusiasm for Christ is contagious -- has anyone caught it from you?
Those who walk with God won't run from people's needs.
When you find yourself far from God, remember it is not He that moved.
When God calls 'Time', the game is over. Which exit will you take?
Experts made the Titanic. Amateurs made the ark.
God doesn't need great men. Great men need God.
Visitors aren't just welcome. They are expected.
Give your troubles to God. He's up all night anyway.
You learn to walk by starting on your knees.
God answers knee mail.
The Joy of Life
The adventure of life is to learn.
The purpose of life is to grow.
The nature of life is to change.
The challenge of life is to overcome.
The essence of life is to care.
The opportunity of life is to serve.
The secret of life is to dare.
The spice of life is to befriend.
The beauty of life is to give.
The joy of life is to love.
Football players at the high school were stealing the practice jerseys, so the coach ordered a set with "Property of Central High School" emblazoned on them.
When the thefts continued, he ordered a new batch that had the imprint "Stolen From Central High School." But the jerseys still kept disappearing.
The larceny finally stopped after he changed the wording to "Central High School 4th String."
A mother sent her fifth grade boy up to bed. In a few minutes she went to make sure that he was getting in bed. When she stuck her head into his room, she saw that he was kneeling beside his bed in prayer. Pausing to listen to his prayers, she heard her son praying over and over again. "Let it be Tokyo! Please dear God, let it be Tokyo!"
When he finished his prayers, she asked him, "What did you mean, 'Let it be Tokyo'?"
"Oh," the boy said with embarrassment, "we had our geography exam today and I was praying that God would make Tokyo the capital of France."
Prayer is not a magical means by which we get God to do what we want. Prayer is an inner openness to God which allows his divine power to be released in us. Ultimately, the power of prayer is not that we succeed in changing God, but that God succeeds in changing us.
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, "How do you expect to get into Heaven?"
The boy thought it over and said, "Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!'"
"Alter your attitude and you can alter your life."
"You can't risk what you don't have and you can't have what you won't risk for."
"Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision." -- Stevie Wonder
The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40years. Even in biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.
One hour of eternity, one moment with the Lord, will make us utterly forget a lifetime of desolations. --Horatio Bonar
