“How easily we deceive ourselves into thinking that what looks impressive to the world also looks impressive to God. Nothing could be farther from the truth.” —David Ravenhill

Jesus’ death was not merely for our sin, but so that He could establish His Lordship over our lives.

Not until our delays are rendered lifeless, will there be any real forward movement in our lives.

We have the ability to not walk in childish ignorance, but in mature understanding.

“Babyhood is a delightful thing; perpetual babyhood is deplorable. The perpetual spiritual infant is an embarrassment to God. God wants us rich in spiritual things. Unless we are grown-up in Christ, we will be a liability—childish and petty, wanting attention all the time, and wanting to be amused.” —Leonard Ravenhill

We will never be able to speak life and be kind to others if we don’t feel good about ourselves first.

Instead of using our energy to criticize and nag when our spouse does something we don’t like. Let’s use our influence to comment favorably when they say or do something we approve of.

We regularly confuse the act of hearing with the choice of listening.

Criticism should never be a habit within a family culture, because we are suppose to be loving, supportive, and encouraging to one another.
