“The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.”

“Without a clear purpose you have no foundation on which you base decisions, allocate your time, and use your resources. You will tend to make choices based on circumstances, pressures, and your mood at that moment. People who don’t know their purpose try to do too much — and that causes stress, fatigue, and conflict.”

“Spiritual maturity is becoming like Jesus in the way we think, feel, and act. The more you develop Christlike character, the more you will bring glory to God. The Bible says, “As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more.

“Until we mature enough to understand that God uses everything for good in our lives, we harbor resentment toward God over our appearance, background, unanswered prayers, past hurts, and other things we would change if we were God. People often blame God for hurts caused by others. This creates what William Backus calls “your hidden rift with God.”

“Podemos desarrollar la humildad de manera práctica: reconociendo nuestras debilidades, siendo tolerantes con las debilidades de otros, estando dispuestos a ser corregidos y destacando lo que hacen los demás. Pablo aconsejó: «Vivan siempre en armonía. Y no sean orgullosos, sino traten como iguales a la gente humilde. No se crean más inteligentes que los demás«.13 A los cristianos de Filipos les escribió: «Honren más a los demás que a ustedes. No se interesen solo en ustedes, sino interésense en la vida de los demás».14 La humildad no es pensar menos de ti mismo, sino pensar menos en ti mismo. Humildad es pensar más en los demás. Las personas humildes se interesan tanto en servir a otros que no piensan en sí mismas.”

“Another of Brother Lawrence’s helpful ideas was to pray shorter conversational prayers continually through the day rather than trying to pray long sessions of complex prayers.”

“Pastor, creo que antes de alcanzar a estas personas nuevas debiéramos tratar de reactivar a todos los miembros viejos que han dejado de venir.” ¡Esta es una estrategia que garantiza la decadencia de su iglesia! No da resultado. Por lo general, se requiere cinco veces más energía para reactivar a un miembro carnal o disgustado que a un inconverso receptivo.”
