We all need love-driven friends who are truth-tellers in our lives, people who fear God more than us, to help us to become more like Jesus, and less of our sinful selves. Truth really does set us free. #lovehelps

“There’s no pride left when God takes me though a time of suffering. There’s no self-righteousness when I am called to wait. There is no religiosity when I am truly mourning. This is a spirituality I can’t control, I can’t initiate, I can’t bring about.” Gary Thomas #growinChrist

"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love." - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Building physical strength brings rewards, like more energy and the ability to try new activities. Similarly, growing spiritually requires effort. We must actively seek God’s Word, pray, and stay connected with Him.

Spiritual growth strengthens us to face challenges and serve others. Just like physical strength, spiritual strength needs consistent effort—each day is a new opportunity to build. #devotion #Strength #diligence

If you feel like you need to correct every wrong comment, post, leader, or thought in the world, maybe its your pride that needs to be corrected. None of us are perfect, so be freed from this tyranny of your own "rightness". God alone is always right! #letitgo #prayinstead

“Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.” CS Lewis

“It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills.” Adrian Rogers #truthmatters

Elizabeth Eliot, whose husband Jim was killed as a missionary in Ecuador, knew the pain of loss, and the greatness of God's grace to save. She once said, “New Year’s Day is a good time to fix one’s eyes on the only One who knows what the year is to hold.” Let's do that anew.

“For Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.” CS Lewis #humbleyourselfandpray

“God always chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He shows his might only on the behalf of those who trust in Him. Humility is the place where all Christian service begins.” K.P. Yohannan #lovelikeJesus

"One day we will step on heaven's shore into the full glory of God-Reality. Will we then discover that here on earth we spent most of our life in the shadows, in cultural Christianity, when we could have embraced the reality of God?" AW Tozer #LordHelpUs

“When you read the Word of God, it’s like a hammer. The Word of God is like a blaze. You cannot turn anywhere without everything in your heart and life being exposed to God. The holy God does not play games.” Henry Blackaby #reviveusLord

[Butch Smith @butch4jc]

“It amazes me how so many people somehow believe that as long as they do not feel that something is bad, that it is not bad-as long as they can feel okay about it, they can continue to do it.” Henry Blackaby

“A revival of true New Testament Christianity must surely bring with it a manifestation of spiritual gifts. Anything short of it will create a just suspicion that the revival is something short of scriptural.” AW Tozer #forthecommongood
