God is looking over the entire earth for men who have the proper attitude toward money and who will use it according to His direction and not according to their own interests.
From 1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.”
Gaston Bachelard Quote
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful.
True poetry is a function of awakening. It awakens us, but it must remain the memory of previous dreams.
Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) contributed to French culture as a philosopher. His writings are quite extensive.
Robert Schuller Quote
The good news is that the bad news can be turned into good news when you change your attitude.
From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.”
Charles Stanley Quote
For us, jealousy isn’t attractive, but for God, it’s a holy attribute. God is unhappy when we worship anyone besides Him. Only He deserves our praise.
From James 4:5-6: “Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, ‘God yearns jealously for the spirit that He has made to dwell in us’? But He gives all the more grace.”
Oswald Chambers Quote
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He does not ask you to put it right; He asks you to accept the light, and He will put it right.
From 2 Corinthians 3:3-5: “And you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God.”
Toni Morrison Quotes
We never shape the world . . . the world shapes us.
Make a difference about something other than yourselves.
Ohio-born Toni Morrison (1931-2019) experienced the ultimate tributes given any novelist when she received the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for her ground-breaking novel BELOVED and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. Her many awards and published works were a testament to her gifts as a writer.
Thomas Carlyle Quotes
Every noble work is at first impossible.
It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.
Charles Swindoll Quote
What does it mean to be a person after God’s own heart? Seems to me, it means that you are a person whose life is in harmony with the Lord.
From 2 Peter 1:5-7: “For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.”
Bill Bright Quote
Without the certainty of His resurrection, we would come to the end of this life without hope, with nothing to anticipate except despair and doubt. But because He lives, we rejoice, knowing soon we will meet our Savior face to face, and the troubles and trials of this world will be behind us.
From John 16:31-33: “Jesus answered them, ‘Do you now believe? The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!'”
