I Had Received Christ As My Savior When I Was A Child, But I Didn't Know Anything. I Didn't Have Any Knowledge. I Didn't Go To Church. And I Had A Lot Of Problems, And I Needed Somebody To Kind Of Help Me Along. And I Think Sometimes Even People Who Want To Serve God, If They Have Got So Many Problems That They Don't Think Right And They Don't Act Right And They Don't Behave Right, They Almost Need Somebody To Take Them By The Hand And Help Lead Them Through The Early Years. And That's Really What Discipleship Is. It's Helping People.

Worry Is A Down Payment On A Problem You May Never Have

It Isn't Necessary To Trust God When We Have Full Understanding And Knowledge Of What He Is Doing On Our Behalf... Trust Is Needed In Those Times When, For Whatever Reason, We Are Not Hearing From God As Clearly As We Would Like.

As A Christian, Instead Of Concentrating On How You Feel, Focus On What You Know To Be Truth From The Word Of God.

I Think A Lot Of People Believe That They Have To Be Poor To Serve God, That They Can't Have Anything. They Don't Really Even Know How To Give. And One Of The Main Principles In The Bible Is You'll Reap What You Sew, And That If You Give Into The Lives Of Others, That It Shall Be Given Back To You, Good Measure, Pressed Down And Shaken Together. If You Go Plant One Tomato Seed, You Don't Get Back One Tomato; You Get A Vine Of Tomatoes.

So Often, We Blame Other People When, Really, The Problem Is Right Down In Here. I'm Not Happy. I Don't Know What's Wrong. If I Just Had Another Job, I Could Be Happy. If I Just Get Married, I Would Be Happy. Well If I Just Wasn't Married, I Would Be Happy. Well, If I Just Had Some Kids, I'll Be Happy. I'll Be Happy When These Kids Finally Grow Up And Get Out Of Here. If I Had A Bigger House, I Would Be Happy. Well, I Got A Big House. Now If I Just Had A Maid To Clean, I'd Be Happy. Well, Now If I Just Had A Maid I Could Get Along With Better, I'd Be Happy.
