God is not a bargaining God. You cannot barter with Him. You must do business with Him on His own terms.

Christians are called to distinguish themselves as Christ followers, not community organizers.

Let the study of the Bible become central in your life—not just so you will know it, but that you will obey it.

We aren't only called to become Christians; we are also called to be Christians.

We can hold nothing back [from God]. He must control and dominate us [wholly]. It is a surrender without any conditions attached. This surrender is a definite and conscious act on our part in obedience to the Word of God.

God can do more with a few days of your time if given completely to Him, than He can with a whole life characterized by a half-hearted service.

Jesus demands to be Master and Lord of every part of your life. Is He Lord of your mind, of what you think, read, and believe? Of what you dream about, meditate on, and entertain yourself with? Do your eyes belong to Christ? Can [you] ask God's blessing on it? Can [you] do this to the glory of God?

Today our churches are filled, but how many are actually practicing Christianity in daily life?

In the high tide or low tide, I'm gonna be your friend... I'm gonna be your friend!

Servants don't try to give the Master a better idea; servants don't complain that they think the task is stupid; servants don't pause to consider whether they're in the mood to do it; servants don't decide if the task is within their dignity to perform. They just do it.

When I am in situations where I break out of the pattern, it's hard on me. Once you get used to regular scripture study, you miss it if you don't have it. It's like food - you have to have it. I know that I need the scriptures like I need food. I don't miss a regular meal, and I don't miss regular scripture study.

I love you much less than my God, but much more than myself.
