The Christian life is a life that consists of following Jesus.

The life of a Christian is an education for higher service.

It only makes sense to ask God for guidance in the context of a life committed to "seeking first the kingdom."

I beseech you therefore, brethren… that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

If you are not as close to God as you used to be, who moved?

Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Michael had been something new to him, too. He was one of those rare men who lived what he believed, not once in a while, but every hour of every day, even when the going wasn't easy. As gentle a man as he was, as tender as was his heart, there was nothing weak about Michael Hosea. He was the strongest-minded man Joseph had ever met. A man like Noah. A man like the shepherd-king, David. A man after God's own heart.

You know, I think He honestly does care about how we play on the field, more than anything more than win or lose our hearts on the field.

And we — you, my reader, and I — may have the privilege of offering ourselves to God to labor in prayer and bring down these blessings to this earth.

It is only the fully surrendered heart that can fully trust God for all that He has promised.

Pray that He will make you willing to give up everything for the Christlike joy of the Father's constant presence.

I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eye lids rather than disobey God.
