There are none so blind as those who will not see
(Swindoll) You married your spouse because they were different. Why can't you leave it that way?
(Swindoll) The Bible is as timeless as it is true
(Rogers) The unsaved person acts naturally; the spiritual Christian acts supernaturally; the carnal Christian acts unnaturally
(Rogers) The word fear not or its equivalent expression appears at least 365 times in the Bible
(Rogers) Jesus test us to prove us so we will learn that Jesus is enough
(Rogers) The world tries to call sin everything but what it is
(Lutzer) Some people have just enough religion to keep them from salvation
(Mt 19:30/The Message) The Great Reversal- many who are first will be last; many who are last will be first
(Wiersbe) We cannot acknowledge Jesus as our King unless we love Him supremely, obey Him unreservedly, and glorify Him completely
(Rogers) Our past is forgiven and our future is as secure as the person and promises of God
(Rogers) When we deny sinning . we lie to others, ourselves, and God
(Rogers) Instead of the regular words to " Count Your Many Blessings", substitute " count your many sins, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what you have done "
(Rogers) Often the believers who are the closest to God are those who have come through the deepest trials. We grow best in the darkness because it is there that we seek God as at no other time in our lives . Faith, like film, is developed in the dark
(Rogers) A wise man once said that we should never doubt in the dark what God has shown us in the light. The real test of your faith is how you act in the dark. It is there that we discover what our faith is made of and where our trust really lies
(Wiersbe) We live by promises, not explanations
(Rogers) No matter how dark life becomes, you will find Jesus standing somewhere in the shadows
(Rogers) Someone has said that you will will never learn God is all you need until He is all you have
(Augustine) The soul of man is restless until it rests in God
(Rogers) All men have some light and are accountable for that light. When we come to the light God gives us, He gives us more light. I believe with all my heart there has never been a person who honestly lived up to the light God gave them and yet died without an opportunity to receive Christ. God is too righteous and loving to leave honest seekers in the dark. When unbelievers stand before God, they will be judged by the light they have received
