Nobody likes to have trouble. The moment we get a hint that it's coming, a common response is, 'Oh no! Not again!'

Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He's done... is doing... and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don't let yourself ever get used to it... stay amazed!

We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again.

We all get weary sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary.

There's a part of you - the born-again part, your spirit - that's dead to sin. That's why it bothers you now when you sin. The 'wilderness' part of you - your soul - is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.
