Don’t waste your life on things that have no eternal value.

One of the most important things God wants to teach us from the Old Testament is how not to live.

God calls us to live lives of purity.

Ask God to reveal hypocrisy in your life—an inconsistency between what you profess and what you practice. Then ask God to bring you so close to Christ that you won’t have any desire to live an inconsistent, deceitful life.

Jesus demands to be Master and Lord of every part of your life. Is He Lord of your mind, of what you think, read, and believe? Of what you dream about, meditate on, and entertain yourself with? Do your eyes belong to Christ? Can [you] ask God’s blessing on it? Can [you] do this to the glory of God?

I believe this is one of the tests of the Spirit-filled life. Is Christ becoming more and more evident in my life? Are people seeing more of Him, and less of me?

The way we live often speaks far louder than our words.

A tame horse contributes much more to life than a wild one. Energy out of control is dangerous; energy under control is powerful.

The Bible has much to say about the brevity of life and the necessity of preparing for eternity. I am convinced that only when a man is prepared to die is he also prepared to live.
