“Our culture says, “If you don’t own it, you won’t take care of it.” But Christians live by a higher standard: “Because God owns it, I must take the best care of it that I can.” The Bible says, “Those who are trusted with something valuable must show they are worthy of that trust.”

“Un hombre vio que uno de sus vecinos salía de una iglesia un domingo por la mañana y le preguntó: «¿Ya se acabó el sermón?» El vecino le respondió con sabiduría: «No. Ya lo predicaron, pero todavía falta que lo practiquemos». Si no aplicamos las revelaciones que Dios nos da, nos volveremos espiritualmente insensibles y desarrollaremos costras. Nos volvemos torpes a la obra de convencimiento del Espíritu Santo en nuestra vida. La aplicación de la Palabra de Dios es vitalmente necesaria para nuestra salud espiritual, crecimiento y madurez cristiana.”

“it’s easy to forget that the pursuit of happiness is not what life is about. Only as we remember that life is a test, a trust, and a temporary assignment will the appeal of these things lose their grip on our lives. We are preparing for something even better. “The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.”

“Many people are driven by the need for approval. They allow the expectations of parents or spouses or children or teachers or friends to control their lives. Many adults are still trying to earn the approval of unpleasable parents. Others are driven by peer pressure, always worried by what others might think. Unfortunately, those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.”

“Every church could put out a sign “No perfect people need apply. This is a place only for those who admit they are sinners, need grace, and want to grow.”
