“And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd.

“Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father.    Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.    The world and all […]

“Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, those who follow Jesus have better uses for language than that.    Don’t talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn’t fit our style.

“Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm.    Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing.    Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, […]

“When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. When you come looking for me, you’ll find me.    Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God ’s Decree.     “I’ll turn things around […]
