Those who sow to please themselves and their flesh will reap destruction; those who sow to please the Spirit will reap a harvest of everlasting life.

A divine gardener is pruning you so that you will bear more fruit. God is working on your heart and making you more like Christ.

In order to grow up into Christ's stature, we must not remain infants, but crave solid food as we grow in faith and knowledge.

The seed is always the same—it is the Word—but the condition of our hearts determines how much we produce. To grow more fruit, we must cultivate the gardens of our hearts.

Keeping your eye on what God will do in the future, with Christ's return, is one of the best ways to stand firm today.

The experiences of our lives, the adversity, the pain, the blessings, the victories, are all part of the equipping that God provides for us to serve Him.

Christian faith isn't a sprint, but a marathon - a lifelong journey of sanctification to become more like Christ.

In the person of Christ and in the company of our Christian brothers and sisters, we find peace and joy during times of suffering and hardship.

When the Enemy pushes and pulls in the tug of war for our minds, we can stand firm on the Truth of God that is fulfilled in Christ.

How does God's greatness and grace shine through in your life? Because if you don't know the answer, how will those around you?
