“It is a fatal mistake to assume that God’s goal for your life is material prosperity or popular success, as the world defines it. The abundant life has nothing to do with material abundance, and faithfulness to God does not guarantee success in a career or even in ministry. Never focus on temporary crowns.”

“God made you for a reason and your life has profound meaning! We discover that meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives.”

“Lasting change requires new ways of thinking. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change how you act, you must begin by changing the way you think. Your thoughts are the autopilot of your life.”

“la meta final de todo estudio bíblico es su aplicación, no su interpretación. En vista de que Dios quiere cambiar nuestra vida por medio de su Palabra, es de suma importancia aprender a aplicar las Escrituras en nuestra vida antes de aprender cualquier otro método de estudio bíblico.”

“El estudio de la Palabra de Dios debe dirigirse a su aplicación a nuestra vida, con el resultado de que las Escrituras nos cambien para que nos conformemos más a la voluntad de Dios.”

“When you live in light of eternity, your values change. You use your time and money more wisely. You place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth or achievements or even fun. Your priorities are reordered. Keeping up with trends, fashions, and popular values just doesn’t matter as much anymore. Paul said, “I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.”

“Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go.”

“Worship is far more than praising, singing, and praying to God. Worship is a lifestyle of enjoying God, loving him, and giving ourselves to be used for his purposes.”
