Since Jesus defeated our greatest enemy with complete authority, we can face the smaller challenges of each day with complete confidence.                             .                                   

When the adrenaline from our present challenge wears off, we have to make the choice if we’re going to be driven by self-preservation or self-sacrifice, looking out for self or looking out for others.                                                

In our pain and frustration, we learn what it means to hope.

“Whoever fears God, will avoid all extremes” (Ecclesiastes 7:18).

Humility is recognizing who we are in the light of who God is. We must become like little children dependent on our heavenly Father.

We are called to seek the Kingdom of Heaven, and in finding it we're called to value it above all things in our life. The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't fit into your life, it be comes your life!

As far as it depends upon Jesus, the experiences of your life won’t go to waste.

Don’t let the storms take your faith—make your faith take the storms!

The Sermon on the Mount shows that Jesus refuses to let us settle for a weakened, watered-down version of God’s best.

Few things in life are more natural for human beings than prayer and yet nothing may prove more difficult. This may explain why the only skill the disciples ever asked Jesus to teach them was how to pray. We have much to learn from his response.
