Doubt can never drive out doubt; only Faith can eliminate doubt.
May your life not confuse your friends about the power of God!
Every time God has prompted you to be a witness and you didn’t, you have hindered someone’s chance to embrace saving Faith.
You will have far more freedom on the “Straight and Narrow Way” than you will ever have traveling as a slave on the Broad Way.
The world is no friend of hope.
Any church that does not love the sinner is a false church.
Stand your ground, Christian, there is no peace in compromise.

Marriage is the ultimate friendship.
Love, in marriage, is something you share everyday and still relish every moment.
The foundation of a marriage is begun with a wedding and then is built together over a lifetime.
Love, like every moment counts…and it will.
Real love is when something happens to the other person it happens to you as well.
A great marriage is loving each other until both of you are happy…it is that simple and that difficult.
Marriage is when two sides become the same side.
It is often the flaws in your marriage that make your marriage stronger…because growth and change are accomplished best when marinated in love.
Happy marriages are a combination of generous love, generous forgiveness, and generous time, blended together, generously.

The world is full of important people but none more important than the one who changeless your life forever because they love you.
Great marriages are when the threads of love willing given to each other are woven carefully together, everyday, into a portrait of their shared happiness.

True love is a lifelong race to out love the other.
Marriage is when you realize what is needed to one is mandatory to the other; whatever brings tears to one brings sadness to the other; whatever bring joy to one is celebrated together.
Love cannot be understood without willingly giving more than you are plan to receive.
The happiest marriage possible is the one I have been having and am now sharing with Carol for the last 51 years as of TODAY.. I love you the mostest, my Carolee…

Cheer up Christian; your doubts will be vanquished under the avalanche of truth.
Failure is not dishonor; dishonor is the refusal to try.
Doing the right thing may be painful for the moment but it will be far less painful in the long run for those you love.
Truth deserves a better salute than loyalty.
Never honor a man over principle.
Every truth develops its own enemies.
Genius without honor is a disgrace.

Politics is the art of looking for what is wrong and, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying All potential remedies.
Most “church traditions” are copies of ways they have captured their cognations; few of these provide any remedy for the lost.

Courage is what brave men do with their fears.
Courage for the wrong principals is called fanaticism.
Often people are more courageous against darkness than they are for the light.
Courage is not for one’s safety but to be put against life’s risks.
Knowing what not to fear is the purest bravery.
The loyalty of a Christian is not determined in church but is measured  by his  life.
Courage is for those who are first afraid but do what must be done anyway.
Brave men cannot and will not die cowards.

It takes more courage not to take the credit, than to fight the battle.
Courage will make you a majority.
Courage without conscience is a disaster in the making.
Physical courage abounds while moral courage cower behind..
It is easier to be brave from a safe distance.
The substance of courage is an undying love for some one for some thing.
Courage is when we stand for what we believe in; it is also what we use to sit down and listen to the other side of a story.
The fear in your enemy is your best encouragement
Anger increases your courage but not your good sense.
Faith is the candle power of a Christian's light.
Only Faith can change one blessing into another.
After you pray, do something!

EVEN AT DEATH WE DO NOT PART

“Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.” Isaiah 46:10,11b (AKJV)

God is here for us and to be with us until we pass on, from here to there. Being a Christian counselor for 50+ years has given me access into lives who surfer from anxiety. Therefore, it befalls me to remind them that we are to be anxious for nothing…, “for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;” Young's Literal Translation.


Now even as I say this I can hear some of my readers say but you do not understand it is just the way I am made. Not true, it is just something you have agreed to as a reason to so as not to exercise your Faith.

Yes, some folks are more sensitive and more susceptible to anxiety. In fact, all of us tend to be anxious about something. It could be marriage, having children, finances, retirement, the opinion of others, and the like, are all are real human concerns. The difference between concern and anxiety what you do with this temptation. The Bible instruction is to choose to leave whatever is troubling to us in the “Capable Hands of God“.

Jesus said,
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?” Matthew 6:25


KJV …
Jesus taught us not to worry,...worry is silent anxiety.
"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,”…Matthew 6:25-18 KJV.

Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. "And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.” Matthew 28:20 GOD'S WORD® Translation



　
Now if your fears fall outside of Jesus’ admonition to the multitudes, then, you can, and should be, anxious.


So worry is a “Faith Killer” and a robber of the quality of your Christian life and a thief of the same for those about you. “Fear not for I am with you even until the end of the age,” Matthew 28:20 KJV is a far better banner to wear over your life than anxiety. God is with you until death do you part, and death is not a parting for the believer; it is just when you are united face to face.

Every scientific theory should begin with, “At our present level of ignorance we assume that the next level of ignorance should be.........”

Giving does not make you better; giving out of love will.
You will be more honored, in Heaven, for what you sent before you; than by what you left behind.
Does you giving match you living?

ARE YOU SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH?

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

Jeremiah was destine from the womb and so are you. Jeremiah is not one bit more important to God than you are. From the moment you were born you’ve been a treasure to Him. You are a special creation of the Maker of Heaven and Earth.

You were made personally by God, for Himself and for His purposes.
Imagine, then, the value of something made with love and care by God Himself. The majestic and sovereign God of all creation is your creator. Just like Jeremiah you were formed by God Himself and known to him. Nothing will ever bring greater value to your life than this. Therefore, whatever you think about yourself that differs from this fact is wrong.

God has made you on purpose for a purpose.
Just as Jeremiah was “set apart” and “appointed” by God to be a prophet, God made you for a purpose that is important to Him. A purpose is important not because of what it is but because of who assigns it. You also have been set aside for a specific purpose, to be the light of God, set upon a hilltop…wherever that hilltop may be.

You may say, “But I do small things in quiet places; not big things in big places. No one really cares or knows about what I do. If, in the eyes of the world, you feel small, take heart. Consider the all seeing Eyes of a Loving Heavenly Father are on you continually.
“Indeed, the LORD watches those who fear him; those who trust in his gracious love.” Palms 33:18 International Standard Version

You are important to Him. But as you accept that you are precious in His sight, take no glory in it because the honors of the world fade into nothingness on that Final Day. However, your purpose appointed by God endures—forever!

Committed faithfulness is your key to a life of significance.
Since God has made you for a purpose, your key to significance is faithfulness. Do what He has set you apart to do without regard to anything else. Do not allow yourself to be sidetracked into whatever the world offers you in exchange; for it will be useless and valueless in the final purpose for your life.

If you are faithful to God; your life will be filled with His Grace and Glory. Not only that, but you will also be filled with joy and happiness because the greatest joy comes from serving Him. (Happiness is a by-product of being in and doing God’s will for your life.)

If you are a non-believer you are significant enough for the Son of God to die for your sins no matter how horrid they might be or have been.

If you are a Christian it is impossible for you to be insignificant.
So, Glory in the Cross and walk this world full of His love. Your significance is in His, eyes, not the world’s, other’s or even your own.

Finally, you are significant enough if you have Jesus as your Lord; you will always be significant as you can possibly be. If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior you can never be significant regardless of how much you have, what your have do, have done, or who thinks you are significant…You can’t be significant in anyway, in or to, the world that will come.

Once you belong to Jesus, you can never be more valued or more significant.
