The greatest gift

The greatest gift you have received from God is himself. And the greatest gift you can offer to God in return is yourself (Romans 12:1).

Children of God

You won't be able to truly love anyone as the child of God they are until you begin see them as the child of God they are (Malachi 2:10).

Peace be with you

Since Christ has promised to always be with you, you can trust that peace is always with you no matter what you're facing (2 Thessalonians 3:16)

I am in distress

"Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also" (Psalm 31:9).

Mystery of Christ

Too much pride in what you already know hinders the mystery of Christ your faith is meant to help you truly experience (Ephesians 3:4).

Always hope!

Hope isn't a fuzzy feeling. It's the fruit of your walk with God, and what sustains your confidence in the power of God (Hebrews 6:11). Always hope!

Your gifts to God

Your gifts to God can't match what God has given to you, but your gifts to God should match your love for what God has given to you (2Cor 9:6-8).

When you don't feel like it

You'll have days you don't feel like praying or singing to God. Those are the times when you must (Acts 16:19-25)! Praise God even in dark times.

Submit to God

The true call of faith is not merely to believe in God. You have been called to submit to God.

(James 4:7).

Our pride!

"Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God" (Psalm 20:7).

Pride is dangerous

Pride is dangerous because you aren't always aware of how much it is keeping you from truly seeing the glory of God (Galatians 6:3).

Let go

When God asks you to let go, it's so you can take hold of the new blessings he has prepared (Isaiah 26:3-4).

Faith & Trust

To bless God while things are good takes faith. To bless God while things are bad takes faith & trust (1Peter 1:6).

God's forgiveness

Forgiveness is your soul's refreshment, given as a gift from God. (James 5:16).

Don't fear doubt

You don't have to fear your doubts. Ask God to use them to lead you to a new level of faith (Mark 9:24).

Strength in my soul

"On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul" (Psalm 138:3).

Led by God's power

Our sin addiction has been conquered by God's power. So don't be led by the sin that tempts you, but by the power that saves you (Romans 6:23)!

Let God work

You don't become holy merely by what you do, but by what you let God do in you (1 Peter 1:14-16).

Let grace heal

Resentment leads to bitterness.  Grace heals both (Ephesians 4:31).

No waste of time

Nothing done for the glory of God is a waste of time (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Your sermon

A preacher's sermon lasts 20 minutes, but yours lasts an entire week (Matthew 5:16).

Our refuge

"For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength against the enemy" (Psalm 61:3).

How to judge yourself

Don't judge yourself by what others have or what others do. Judge yourself by the grace & mercy God has given to you (2Corinthians 10:12).

Wise people listen

The wiser you are, the more you know others have something to teach you (Proverbs 1:5).

Fear not!

Worry stems from fear. God has given you a fear-not faith (Isaiah 41:13)!

A listening ear

One of the best things you can do for someone is be willing to listen. A listening ear brings comfort (James 1:26).

Learning to trust

The more grateful to God you are, the more trusting you will become (2 Corinthians 4:15-16).
