 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?”

 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.”

 The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.”

 We are the Bibles the world is reading; we are the creeds the world is needing; we are the sermons the world is heeding.”

A real Christian is the one who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.”

 I have never known anyone to accept Christ’s redemption and later regret 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.”

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

 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.'

 Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater—the love of God.”

 Knowing we will be with Christ forever far outweighs our burdens today! Keep your eyes on eternity!”

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

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 takes our sins – the past, present, and future, and dumps them in the sea and puts up a sign that says NO FISHING ALLOWED.”

Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.”

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."
