God created the heavens and the earth to reveal His glory. Don't allow creation to eclipse and steal the worship God desires and deserves.

No Christian is abandoned at the moment of death. The angels are the ushers, and our passage to heaven is under their escort.

Worship is God's way of giving us an opportunity to shift our focus from our own concerns, problems, and circumstances to the way things are in heaven.

The universe is filled with the evidence of God's greatness. In awesome wonder we can consider the worlds He has made.

Christians are not perfect, and all of us do sin along the way. But genuine Christians hear His voice and follow Him.

As Christians, we're under oath all the time. We're not always required to say everything we think or know, but we're always to speak as He did-truthfully.

There is a sense in which the Christian's life on earth is a dress rehearsal for heaven. Not in terms of costumes and theatrics, but in terms of worship and devotion to the One we will worship for all eternity - the Lamb who sits on the throne of heaven.

I could take everything I have built up over 35 years in my ministry and destroy it all if I went out tomorrow and committed one act of rebellion.

No one is going to be powerful in their ministry if they are hiding something that they are afraid people will find out at any moment.

Jesus is coming back - it could even be today.

It is possible to be at the top of Christian service, respected and admired, and not have that indispensable ingredient by which God has chosen to work in His world today - the absolute sacrificial agape love of the Eternal God.

It is possible to live the Christian life just on the surface, knowing only enough to carry on an intelligent conversation in the church foyer with another equally uninformed believer, but when that happens you are vulnerable to the attack of the deceiver.

If you have put your faith in Christ and have spent significant time in the Word of God, the tough times can be like a magnet that draws you to the Lord Jesus. Nothing is going to happen - ever - that will catch Jesus Christ by surprise. He is able to help His children work through anything, and not a single thing is going to happen in the future that can change that fact.

We are reflectors, and as reflectors we have one duty and that is to stay clean or we won't reflect Jesus.

Worship is an endeavor to bring to God that which costs you something.

People crave encouragement, and sometimes the greatest encouragement is the writing of words that endure. Perhaps you can pen a note of affirmation and approval to someone today.

God is unlimited and infinite with respect to time; He is eternal. God is unlimited and unaffected by space; He is present everywhere at the same time.

When we share Christ, the Truth behind our transformation, we are offering people an opportunity to be transformed.

Throughout Jesus' ministry, He took time away from the crowds and even His disciples to pray by Himself. Jesus modeled the importance of not only serving God with our actions but of being still and drawing close to God to renew our souls.

God is no further from you on your worst day than He is on your best day. Just open your heart to receive Him and His love.

We can be encouraged knowing that our daily actions and words are declaring Christ to the world.

Ask God to show you any changes you need to make in your relationships. And make sure your closest relationship continues to be with Jesus Himself.

If we don't take inventory every once in a while and give thanks to God for the great things He has done for us, we get totally out of perspective.

The promises of God are His guarantees amid life's uncertainties. They're the basis of all our life of faith.

A man of God in the will of God is immortal until His work is done.

The secret of the Christian's passion is simple: Everything we do in life we do it as to the Lord and not to men.

Refresh your commitment today to test everything by the Word of God. The surest defense against spiritual deception is knowledge of spiritual truth.

Picking up our Bibles, we should give God our full attention, withhold our opinion until we understand what He is saying, listen without interrupting, and respond with understanding and obedience.
