There is no way to get people out of hell, but we should make every effort to keep them from going there.
Heaven isn’t something from a fairy tale. It’s a very real place that Jesus is preparing for those who have put their faith in Him. It is a place that will have […]

God is in the business of helping, not hurting us.
One of the greatest fears we have is abandonment. As a baby, you probably cried when your mother left the room. As a youngster, you may have been left behind accidentally, or maybe you got separated in a crowd. Although your parents didn’t […]

Humility is like underwear–you should have it, but you shouldn’t be proud of it.
Humility is subtle. The moment you think you have it, you’ve lost it. Humility is not something you can strive for. It comes by learning to be submissive. One of the most difficult things for a proud person […]

The best way to stop worrying is to start praying.
It’s hard to stop worrying. Althought we’ve never smoked, we can imagine that it’s just as difficult to stop worrying as it is to stop smoking. Both activities are a form of addiction. And even though the habit is harmful to you, […]

Consider your spiritual growth as a process instead of an event.
