God is so unique in giving His people ways to fellowship, witness, and remember what a mighty and merciful God He is.

Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.

As you submit to God more and more, you will get accustomed to being nourished by the power of truth. He is so holy that He cannot lie. God reveals His truth to His people through the Holy Spirit.

As a child of God, our whole reason for existing is to give God praise. What a testimony to give in a difficult situation.

Through prayer, fasting, and studying, God will answer.

Regret is not a proactive feeling. It is situated in disappointment, sorrow, even remorse. It merely wishes things were different without an act to cause a difference. However, repentance is different. Repentance is an admission of, hatred of, and turning away from sin before God.

When you are in church, it's always good to carry a pen and notepad to jot down the scripture text, reference scriptures, and sermon notes. When you come prepared with notepad and pen, you are able to feed off the scriptures from the sermon throughout the week, while asking God to open up your understanding for a deeper illumination of the word.

It is obvious that God is looking at the heart when sacrifices are given to Him. He takes no delight in those who give up things for Lent and then act like it's such a struggle to perform what they said they wanted to do for Him.

God is looking for clean hands and a pure heart.

We have all been guilty of complaining, but God does not look at it as lightly as we may think. Complaining was the reason the Jews ended up wandering in the desert for forty years. If we were more grateful for what God has done for us, abasing ourselves would not be a problem.

When you get a hankering to talk or complain about what you gave up for Lent, replace that hankering by speaking the word of God. For all the times you would have done the activity that you gave up for Lent, replace it by reading the word of God. Christians should always be drawing closer to God.

The word of God is very important to Christmas. For unto us a child was born, and we should be reminded of how Christ's amazing journey came to be.

Forget the conspiracy theories! God gave us the right to vote, and He gave the United States, and all of its citizens, freedom through democracy.

It's easy to praise God in the good times, but what about when the storms of your flesh are a-brewin'? Not so easy then!

Jesus went to the cross for sins He didn't commit. Hello! You can carry a grudge just thinking about that, but don't do it. He knew what He was doing. It was His choice, and He did it willingly. It was the will of the Father, and He always did the will of God without complaint. So what is it that we have to complain about?

It's disheartening to write goals from year to year, looking back only to see you are in the same place. You can make so many promises that you get sick of yourself, but what is it that God can't do?

Fixate your love on Him, be obedient to God's word, and don't seek the glory of this world. In doing these things, God will exalt you in this earth and you won't have to sacrifice your soul for earthly crowns that will fade.

The word of God is a Christian's instructions for life. God speaks to us through His word, so we cannot constantly be running on empty.

Jesus' sinless life was given as a gift to the world - the ultimate gift. Some would receive Him, and others wouldn't. Nonetheless, He continues to be our gift, and His life and death makes it possible for His children to receive eternal life with Him. That's a reason to give God glory.

Voting is a right that has been given to every American; however, as Christ followers, our votes should reflect our God.

God knows and sees all. His wisdom and knowledge far outweighs mankind, and whether or not people ever recognize it - He is the creator. He is the giver of life, and only He has the power to take it away. That's why its imperative to submit to Him.

Jesus is not only the Son of God, but He is God Himself. Having all power in His hands, He laid down His life for people who deserved God's justice, not His mercy.

A 'real pastor' is not preaching of their own; they are speaking what God put in their heart by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is using them at that very moment to speak to the congregations situations -past, present, and future.

It's funny how we 'do' Christmas. Christmas is not something that we do, it is something that was done. It celebrates the long awaited arrival of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We had nothing to do with it, but what we can do is praise God for the coming of the Lord, who washed away the sins of the world by dying on the cross.

God is using people to accomplish His work, of saving souls, but we have to remember that it is not us doing the work. It's God using our vessel.

Luck really has nothing to do with human existence, since God is not a random God.

It's only through Christ that we can take full advantage of God's mercy and forgiveness through repentance in Jesus' name.

Heaven is a very distinct place, where only God's elect will go. It's the place where the only One who deserves any glory lives and reigns.

It may seem like we have the ultimate plan for our lives, but it's not in the same galaxy of what God's plans are for His people.

People tend to say Christians are always judging, but the word of God convicts Christians and urges them to obey God's commands.

We will never accomplish what God wants for our lives unless we stop making excuses for ourselves and pampering our flesh. When we get into seemingly impossible situations, we have to remember - it's not about us.

Believe it or not, when you fast in the Spirit, God makes you more equipped to deal with hunger, irritability, and temptation.

Even though, there are many who describe themselves as Christian, most do not heed to God's word without subjectivity.

God has given His children a love that is so great in Christ that the world can't touch it with chocolates, roses, or diamonds.

'Doing your own thing' and being a Christian is an oxymoron. As Christians, every day we need to be presenting ourselves before the Lord, thanking Him for His mercy and asking Him to make us more like Him by emptying us of our will, so God's will can be done.

Repentance allows God's mercy to come forth because it recognizes that the sin committed was against God. It also bares contriteness of the heart and the desire to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh so that particular sin will never be repeated.

We glorify God with all of our members, but in most cases, our mouths seem to get more opportunity. So it just goes without saying that we can dishonor Him with our mouths as well.

Christian children should be taught at an early age that everything they receive is because of God's grace and love. They will grow up more appreciative and begin to understand that they, too, must have a relationship with Christ. Christian children should also be taught how to give.

Singles have goals, responsibilities, deadlines, events, and friends that occupy their time, as well they should. Nonetheless, before any goals are achieved, responsibilities are fulfilled, deadlines are met, events are attended or friends are visited, God's purpose should be accomplished.

The lusts of this world leads us to fulfill our carnal need to be accepted, but as children of God we are already accepted by a Heavenly Father who is over and above all things.

God is never on the sidelines of His children's lives. He goes before them. He leads them, guides them, protects and saves them.

No holiday, no job, no amount of money, not even my own security can mean more to me than my love for God.

Can a secular artist be used as a vessel to bring souls to Christ? Of course... this is God we are talking about!

Christians are not in bondage to do things as the world does, and moreover, the traditions and rudiments of men are not necessary to honor God.

Just the simple act of sharing wisdom is something that many parents have left to society to do; however, that is not what God teaches in His word.

A Christian without a God who hears them? That's not a place that one who truly serves Christ wants to find themselves.

If we constantly give God the glory, then we don't have any glory to keep for ourselves.

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is still loving on His people.

Just because we want something so bad does not mean that God wants it for us, too.

Passion is best spent on God; so get committed.
