Relying on God has to start all over every day, as if nothing has yet been done. ~CS Lewis

Gentleness and patience are friends. Meekness matters to those with whom we do life. It is also a nice gift to give ourselves.

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

“It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.”-C.S. Lewis

What you get out of sermons isn’t just up to your pastor. It’s also up to you.

Pride: “I know this already.”
Humility: “I need this again.”

Don’t be a prideful listener.

Jesus is more invested in our mental health than anyone else.

[Gaylon Clark @ClarkGaylon]

Mental health is spiritual health.

God never says no to a prayer for wisdom.

James 1:5 NIV
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

[Gaylon Clark @ClarkGaylon]

God will whisper. He will shout. He will touch and tug. He will take away our burdens; he will even take away our blessings. If there are 1000 steps between us and him he will take all but one. But he will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

– Max Lucado

Faith is not faith if it can’t survive outside of an artificial environment like church bubbles or ecclesiastical enclaves. Faith was made to function in the world. #Faith

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjust the sails.
– William Arthur Ward

Needed perspective, right?

[Gaylon Clark @ClarkGaylon]

The Bible gives us divine guidance. It provides answers to life’s ultimate questions. But for the most part, God has given us big-picture directions to follow, not every single situation-specific solution. The Bible is more compass than road map.
~Michael Ross

Agree or not?

We are saved by grace and saved for grace! What an honor!

We are billboards of his grace created in Christ to do good works that God pre-planned we do. Let’s redistribute his grace and love to at least one person today.

@dtschickmichele And you know we love and appreciate Michelle Woody! Trust you are well.

Jesus urges us to plan for retirement. One day our work down here will be done. We must invest in his kingdom while on earth to retire in heaven. He will ask for our end of life financial statement when we stand before him. ~Luke 19:11-27

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Calvin famously began his institutes with the words, 'nearly all wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: the knowledge of god and knowledge of ourselves.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Don't let success go to your head. Don't let failure go to your heart.

[Gaylon Clark @ClarkGaylon]

We read the scriptures to connect with Author not simply to increase our Bible knowledge. We do it to have a conversation with God that makes relationship with him, others and ourselves more life-giving.

[Gaylon Clark @ClarkGaylon]

Knowing what God has promised you gives you courage to pray. When we are unclear our prayers are unfocused.

1 Chronicles 17:25 NIV
“You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you.”
