The Bible says it is appointed unto man once to die & then the judgment. We won’t be judged by media spin masters or forensic audio analysts, but you will be judged by truth & righteousness—by God Himself. Have you ever thought about what His verdict will be on your words? 3/3
You never know what anyone is going through so if you think of something nice about a person, say it. Don't ever let an opportunity pass to make someone's day.
Bible education doesn’t make us mighty. It makes us knowledgeable. That’s a great thing but it’s not spiritual might. Spiritual muscle is built when the weight of that sword of the Spirit is repeatedly raised with the shield of faith & actively wielded against powers of darkness.
“Uzziah was marvelously helped [by God!], till he was strong. But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction.” 2 Chronicles 26:15-16. Oh successful friend! Beware. Beware. Beware.
I keep thinking about something I heard someone say this morning: unhappiness is contagious. Man, I don’t want to catch it and I’ve got some infected folks sneezing on me right now.
So you thought you knew where God had you going. It all started out so clear. Now you’re all like “What the heck? What is going on here? This can’t be it.” Oh yeah it can. For now. Not forever. Study faith-walks of our predecessors in Scripture. You’ll see the pattern so often...
"It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error, to speak the truth that hurts & then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to ultimately succeed with truth than to temporarily succeed with lies. There is only one Gospel." Adrian Rogers

I'm sorry that some see hope as offensive, but I assure you that thousands in Blackpool & across the UK are searching for hope. Sex, drugs, money, even religion isn’t the answer. 1/2 https://t.co/Pw1MMuiXHf
"You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him & kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet & call him Lord & God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

“So many times we pray for a change in situation, but God is using the situation to change us! It’s a hard lesson...but it’s worth fighting for—to let God mold you into the person He made you to be. Sometimes it’s the adversity that brings out the best in us.”– @KeelaCraft
“Hell is a state of mind - ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind - is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself."

“Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”
