Unless you're reading this in Jerusalem, your home is not in the center of the biblical world. Yet your region matters immensely, because God will not rest until His praise reaches the ends of the earth. (Mike Wittmer)

Sin introduces a kind of static interference in communication with God, and as a result shuts us off from the very resources we need to combat it. (Philip Yancey)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

Expect trials as the normal lot of the Christian in a hostile world. Stand firm and do not give in to temptations to abandon the hard road of faith. (B. Baurain)

All too often what passes for Christianity is not true Christianity at all. It is an imposter. The sad thing is that most people don't know the difference. (J. David Hoke)

It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates. (Amy Carmichael)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

The almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ. Until you have given up your self to Him, you will not have a real self. (C. S. Lewis)

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

We often live as if other people have the power to condemn or approve us. Only God has that authority. Live with a single purpose and in a manner that pleases Him. (Bradley Baurain)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

Nothing matches the manifest presence of God. (Psalm 84; Mark Jobe)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

There is a richness of soul that cannot be cultivated without regular seasons of quiet and solitude. There is a depth in our relationships with God and others that cannot be experienced apart from times of unhurried, face-to-face conversations. (Nancy D. Wolgemuth)

Rejoicing in Him daily relieves us of coveting, leaving us contented. Jesus redeems our heart's desires, making us rich toward God. (Patricia Raybon)

The key to prayer is not persuasiveness but faith. Prayer is the most effective cure for anxiety. It is based on the certainty that God knows what you need before you ask him. (Matthew 6:8; Patricia Raybon)

Even the hardest places in our lives can become fertile ground for God to help and bless many. Our Savior's love and power never change. He's always faithful to those who trust in Him. (James Banks)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

Resolved, never, henceforth, till I die, to act as if I were any way my own, but entirely and altogether God's. (Jonathan Edwards)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

Whatever walk of life we are in, we can get so busy that our efforts begin to crowd out our relationship to God. Rearrange or delegate your life to make your prayer time a priority. (Will Graham)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

What wings are to a bird and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul. (Corrie Ten Boom)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

What we do matters, but how we do it, why, and who we do it for matters more. Each day we can choose to work in a stressed-out way or in a way that honors God and seeks out the meaning Jesus adds to our work. Satisfaction is in the latter. (Julie Schwab)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

Enemy-occupied territory--that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed...and is calling us to all take part in a great campaign of sabotage. (C. S. Lewis)

[Elizabeth C. Hodges @wnacdirector]

Let us not be so weighed down by worry that we cannot see God's goodness. He is with us. His presence is the most precious thing we could ask for. (Today in the Word)
