I Want To Look My Best For God. So Many People Have The Attitude That If You're A Christian You've Got To Dress Bad, Wear An Old Color, Not Do Anything To Your Hair, Have Nothing. It's No Wonder That Christianity Is Not Very Attractive. I Mean, How Many People Do You Know In A Western Culture That's Going To Go, 'yeah, Give Me Some Of That?'

I've Been Studying The Bible For A Long Time. I Remember That After The First Five Years Or So Of Diligently Studying The Word, I Didn't Feel Like I Had Made Any Progress. There Were A Lot Of Things In My Life That Were Out Of Order, And I Didn't Feel Like I Was Getting Anywhere.

We Often Think More Highly Of Ourselves Than We Ought To, And It's Easy To Judge Others And Be Critical Of Their Weaknesses And Shortcomings. But This Self-righteous Attitude Is A Sin That We Can Be Blinded To Because We're So Focused On What The Other Person Did Wrong. The Reality Is This Attitude Is Worse Than The Wrong Behavior We're Judging.

Satan Frequently Steals The Will Of God From Us Due To Reasoning. The Lord May Direct Us To Do A Certain Thing, But If It Does Not Make Sense - If It Is Not Logical - We May Be Tempted To Disregard It.

His Spirit May Affirm It And His Mind Reject It, Especially If It Would Be Out Of The Ordinary Or Unpleasant Or If It Would Require Personal Sacrifice Or Discomfort.

Battles Are Fought In Our Minds Every Day. When We Begin To Feel The Battle Is Just Too Difficult And Want To Give Up, We Must Choose To Resist Negative Thoughts And Be Determined To Rise Above Our Problems.

I'm Going To Make It!"

The Great Thing About An Attitude Is That It's Yours And You Can Change It.

The Bible Has The Answers To Our Everyday Life. Many Times People Don't Realize How Practical It Is.

God Works According To The Law Of Gradual Growth, So Don't Be Discouraged If Your Progress Seems Slow.

I Teach And Believe That God Wants His People To Be Blessed. If We Give And We Are A Blessing To Other People, That God Promises In His Word That He Will Take Care Of Us. Actually, Says He'll Open The Windows Of Heaven And Pour Out A Blessing So Great That We Can't Contain It.

God Wants To Help Us... He Loves Us... We Are His Children. But He Will Not Force His Help On Us At Any Time. He Sees Us When We Struggle And Fight And Complain Our Way Through Things. And I Believe It Breaks His Heart, When All We Have To Do Is Ask Him For Help.

Jesus Never Mistreated Anyone Just Because They Mistreated Him. He Confronted Them In A Spirit Of Gentleness And Then Continued To Love Them.

Anybody Who Comes Together In A Large Group And They All Believe The Same Thing, They're Going To Generate A Certain Amount Of Power. The Bible Says One Puts 1,000 In Flight, And Two 10,000, And So On And So Forth. And So Even If Me And Somebody Else Got Into Agreement About Something, We Would Have More Power Than Each Of Us By Ourselves.

God's Grace Is Amazing! We're Saved By Grace - God's Undeserved Favor - And We Live By Grace, Which Is Also God's Power In Our Lives To Do What We Could Never Do In Our Own Strength. And It's All Because God Is Love, And He Loves Us Unconditionally, Constantly And Completely.

I Believe That A Trusting Attitude And A Patient Attitude Go Hand In Hand. You See, When You Let Go And Learn To Trust God, It Releases Joy In Your Life. And When You Trust God, You're Able To Be More Patient. Patience Is Not Just About Waiting For Something... It's About How You Wait, Or Your Attitude While Waiting.

So Much Of What We Do Every Single Day Is The Result Of Habits That We Have Formed Over Time.

Although God Loves Us Unconditionally, He Does Get Angry At Sin, Wickedness And Evil. But He Is Not An Angry God. God Hates Sin, But He Loves Sinners! He Will Never Approve Of Sin In Your Life, But He Always Loves You And Wants To Work With You To Make Progress In Living A Holy Life In Christ.

Our World Has Created A False Unrealistic Image Of What Women Are Supposed To Look Like And Act Like. But The Truth Is That Every Woman Was Not Created By God To Be Skinny, With A Flawless Complexion And Long Flowing Hair. Not Every Woman Was Intended To Juggle A Career As Well As All Of The Other Duties Of Being A Wife, Mother, Citizen, And Daughter. Single Women Should Not Be Made To Feel They Are Missing Somenthing Because They Are Not Married. Married Women Should Not Be Made To Feel They Must Have A Career To Be Complete. We Must Have The Freedom To Be Our Individual Selves.

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.

We Clearly See In God's Word That Anything He Tells Us To Do, He Will Give Us The Ability To Do It. But Do We Really Believe It? Do We Want To Believe It? It's Easier To Come Up With Excuses For Why We Can't Do Things That Are Hard Or That We Really Don't Want To Do.
