“Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.”
Wisdom“We are either in the process of resisting God's truth or in the process of being shaped and molded by his truth.”
God“Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.”
Wisdom“Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.”
Great“When we take our eyes off the whirl of day-to-day activity and concentrate on honoring Him and following in His way, we find a consistent peace that carries us through both plenty and poverty.”
Peace“In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.”
Design“God will never tell us to do something that gratifies the flesh.”
God“Helping someone come to a saving knowledge of Christ is the greatest achievement possible.”
Knowledge“God's voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamour.”
God“Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.”
Fear“I certainly respect other people's opinions, but I would not vote for a woman to be the pastor of a church.”
Respect“Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.”
God“You have to have courage to be obedient to God.”
Courage“When God speaks, oftentimes His voice will call for an act of courage on our part.”
Courage“You can't tell a woman who is called by God to teach that she cannot teach the Word of God... So I think the distinction is that there's a difference between the authority of a pastor and a Bible teacher.”
Teacher“We are either in the process of resisting God's truth or in the process of being shaped and molded by his truth.”
God“The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.”
Family“God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.”
Fear“On Sunday morning, I'm not nervous... I can't wait to tell what God wants me to say.”
God“Think about the comfortable feeling you have as you open your front door. That's but a hint of what we'll feel some day on arriving at the place our Father has lovingly and personally prepared for us in heaven. We will finally - and permanently - be 'at home' in a way that defies description.”
Home“Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk, rejection, or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation, they check to see which way their friends are going.”
Alone“The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord's promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.”
Patience
