 I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out all right.”

“It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.”

“My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.”

“God proved his love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’”

Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?”

“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.”

“Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.”

“Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”

“Christ not only died for all: he died for each.”

 “There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.”

If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”

Heaven is full of answers for which nobody ever bothered to ask.”

 “God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there.”

“Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.”

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.”

“Take one day at a time. Today, after all, is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”

“We say to our children, 'Act like grown-ups,' but Jesus said to the grown-ups, 'Be like children.'

If the devil cannot make us bad, he will make us busy.”

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.”

“Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings…it’s something we make inside ourselves.”

“Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?”

“In darkness God’s truth shines most clear.” 

“What wings are to a bird and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul.”

“With Jesus, even in our darkest moments the best remains and the very best is yet to be…”

“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest.”

“It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability that counts.”

"This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person he puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only he can see."

"Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees"

“The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.”

“There is no pit so deep, that God’s love is not deeper still.”

"If God sends us on stony paths, he provides strong shoes."

"Worry is like a rocking chair: it keeps you moving but doesn't get you anywhere."

“You will find it is necessary to let things go, simply for the reason that they are too heavy.”

“Some knowledge is too heavy...you cannot bear it...your Father will carry it until you are able.”

“Don’t bother to give God instructions, just report for duty.”

“You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.”

God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.”  ~ William Booth (A British Methodist Preacher and founder of the Salvation Army)

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.”  ~ Corrie Ten Boom (A Dutch Christian who helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust)

Cleverness is cheap. It is faith that He praises.”  ~ George Macdonald (Scottish author, poet and Christian minister)

“A string of opinions no more constitutes faith, than a string of beads constitutes holiness.”  ~ John Wesley (Anglican cleric and Christian Theologian, co-founder of the Methodist Church)

“Talk what we will of faith, if we do not trust and rely upon Him, we do not believe in Him.”  ~ Anthony Farindon (Famous English Preacher)

“The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials.”  ~ George Muller (English Evangelist)

“I do not want merely to possess a faith, I want a faith that possesses me.”  ~ Charles Kingsley (English Clergyman)

“When I cannot enjoy the faith of assurance, I live by the faith of adherence.”  ~ Matthew Henry (English Bible Commentator and Minister)

“Faith must have adequate evidence, else it is mere superstition.”  ~ A. A. Hodge (Leader in the American Presbyterian Church)

“Temptation exercises our faith and teaches us to pray.”  ~ A. B. Simpson (Founder of the Christian Missionary Alliance)

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.

I am resolved never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.” ~ Jonathan Edwards
