You can't be Christ-ian without giving up your independence, your pride, your selfishness - in other words, your will has to be totally surrendered.

The True mark of Intimacy

“Many will confide to you their secret sorrows, but the last mark of intimacy is to confide secret joys. Have we let God tell us any of His joys, or are we telling God our secrets so continually that we leave no room for Him to talk to us?” My Utmost For His Highest, June 3

The Anxieties of Yesterday

How to learn obedience...and how to pray for your enemies

Obedience is truly learned (and tested!) in suffering and persecution. Pray for your enemies and those who persecute you—love them.

The Fruit of Godly Sorrow

Taking time to be real with yourself and God hurts and shows you where you’ve been selfish. But, the end result is repentance, forgiveness, and restoration. Praise God, Hallelujah!

A Wise Question to Ask

What can I learn here and what can I give?

Losing when you've won

Sometimes even when I win I lose because of the way I do it.

You cannot do what God has called you to in your own strength

“You cannot do in your own strength what God has called you to do.”—Vincent Newfield #Philippians 4:18

How Cultivate an Ear that Hears God

“Supplements can’t work without the basics: milk, meat, and bread.”—Pastor Ed Sherrill, Jan. 15^th 2012, Hearing from God #3, How to Cultivate a Hearing Ear

Are you worried?

  All the sleep in the world can't cure worry. If you feel fatigued constantly, prayerfully examine yourself to see if you're living in a state of worry. If you find that you are, take courage! We have divine weapons which tear down Strongholds! 

Feelings often Lie

   Your feelings often lie to you. You may feel discouraged or defeated, but you serve a God who is all powerful, ever victorious, and eternally loving. Look to the Lord for your strength, don't focus on the circumstances or feelings that are getting you down--that's what the Enemy wants you to do. Instead, like Paul, learn to delight in suffering for the Master and in being weak because then even more of His strength will be shown through you.

“But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.”

–2 Chronicles 15:7 NKJV

Billy Graham

“All transgression begins with sinful thinking. You who have come to Christ for a pure heart, guard against the pictures of lewdness and sensuality which Satan flashes upon the screen of your imaginations, select with care the books you read, choose discerningly the kind of entertainment you attend, the kind of associates with whom you mingle, and the kind of environment in which you place yourself. You should no more allow sinful imaginations to accumulate in your mind and soul than you would let garbage collect in your living room.”—Billy Graham

Laying Down your Peace?

“People who lay down their peace often have stopped praying with thanksgiving and praise. Followers of Jesus need a vibrant prayer life. As the gospel song says, They need to ‘stay in touch with God.’ They must avoid talking with God only about what they think they need, and regularly live with a thankful heart—giving thanks always in all circumstances for all things.” –Charles Stanley
