Quote of the Week

Looking at Troubles from a Different Angle...

Look at your troubles from a different light. Find a wacky angle, a new twist...“Don’t  offer trouble the energy you should be using to train your boomerang arm. Offer trouble a little serious thought, then, turn it upside down and look at it through God-colored glasses. Chew on trouble’s possibilities for making you smarter, better, stronger, kinder.”

Neat Quotes: IT TAKES DISCIPLINE

IT TAKES DISCIPLINE

Are YOU a Passionate Saint??? Quote for YOU!

"Human nature if it is healthy demands excitement. And if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way it will seek it in the wrong. God never made bloodless stoics, He made passionate saints."

Neat Quote--Go the Distance!

"God calls us to leave our familiar spiritual countryside--our ruts, our comfort zones, and every hint of mediocrity--and "go" to a place He will show us. Let's not settle for Haran. Let's go the distance!"

Beth Moore

The Patriarchs

Neat Quote--God is Never Aimless!

"God is never aimless. When He tells us to leave our lives of sin, He want us to proceed to lives of victory. When He tells us to leave one place as He told Abram, He has another place for us to go. God may not reveal the destination for a while, but we can rest assured we are never called out without being called TO."

Beth Moore

The Patriarchs

Neat Quote!

for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.
