True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.

God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome.

Grace gives us the power to live, and mercy keeps us free from guilt, condemnation, and shame.

An offended heart is the breeding ground of deception.

Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.

The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

If we don’t risk being hurt, we cannot give unconditional love. Unconditional love gives others the right to hurt us.

God is seeking those who hear His call to a life of worship. Those who heed are those who will walk in His presence. They will know Him intimately as He will manifest Himself to them.

We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.

We don't honor just to get a reward; we honor because it is the heart of God, and it is our delight.

Physical maturity is bound to time. Spiritual maturity is bound to obedience.

The man that is meant to love you will have a million questions about you, but none will ever ask your value.

You don't know your presence of tomorrow, so why to WASTE today?!!!

I have every confidence in the ultimate success of our joint cause; but success in modern war requires something more than courage and a willingness to die: it requires careful preparation.

By their very nature bureaucracies have no conscience, no memory, and no mind.

If there's very strong civic unrest you can see a strong party of the Right emerging, whether it's UKIP [The UK Independence Party] or an even further-right party.

Practice and practice and practice, and you'll make friends all over the world.

If everybody's behavior can be explained by simple stupidity and greed, there's no point in assuming a conspiracy.

The kind of fiction I'm trying to write is about telling the truth.

Japan has joined the sanctions against the Russian Federation. How are we going to further economic relations on a new and much higher basis, at a higher level under the sanctions regime?

You Jig, you amble, and you lisp.
