The more we yield to pressure, the more easily we will yield next time.

Moral living sometimes demands difficult choices. It requires selflessness.

It is not the temptations you have, but the decision you make about them that counts.

Often volunteer work leads to employment.

TRUE HEROES are ordinary people, like You and Me, who have done EXTRA ORDINARY THINGS.

Nowhere do the Scriptures tell us to seek results, nor do the Scriptures rebuke evangelists if the results are meager.

Patience is not simply "teeth-clenched" endurance. It is an attitude of expectation. The farmer patiently watches his barren ground because he knows there will be results. He has patience in his labors because there will be products of his labor. So it is in the spiritual realm. God knows the final product of what is happening to us, and He would have us link patience to our faith. Ask God for the gift of patience—and then use it.

When we do good—even when others are doing wrong—God will bless us.

The great crowds themselves are meaningless. The thing that counts is what happens in the hearts of the people. The evangelist sows the seed, and much inevitably falls upon stony ground and bears no fruit. But if only a few seeds flourish, the results are manifold.

What makes us Christians shrug our shoulders when we ought to be flexing our muscles? What makes us apathetic in a day when there are loads to lift, a world to be won, and captives to be set free? Why are so many bored, when the times demand action? Christ told us that in the last days there would be an insipid attitude toward life.

It doesn't take great wealth or social influence to be faithful, but it does take obedience and endurance.

Our lives are to be characterized by patience, for it is important in developing the mature, stable character which God wants to produce in His people.
