You say, Well, I am not going to be anyone's 'yes man.' If I see something wrong in a person, I'm going to warn others about it. Fine. But beware that what you are calling courage to speak out is not more truly a deception masking a rebellious, dishonouring attitude.

The thankful heart sees the best part of every situation. It sees problems and weaknesses as opportunities, struggles as refining tools, and sinners as saints in progress.

How easy it is to blame others for our unhappiness, but we are only unhappy when something other than Christ has become our life.

Even if all we have is a little, the Lord desires us to be joyfully generous, so that He will have for His church an abundance for every good work. Let us not be selfish or deceived by money. In a real sense, money is not a blessing it's a test.

In an attempt to hinder, if not altogether halt, the next move of God, Satan has sent forth an army of faultfinding demons against the church. The purpose of this assault is to entice the body of Christ away from the perfections of Jesus and onto the imperfections of one another.

It does not matter what your circumstances are the instant you begin to thank God, even though your situation has not changed, you begin to change. The key that unlocks the gates of heaven is a thankful heart. Entrance into the courts of God comes as you simply begin to praise the Lord.

The church for too long has followed Casper, the friendly ghost instead of seeking the fire of the Holy Spirit. We have turned limp at the thought of our own cross we faint when we think of suffering or sacrifice. Beloved, it is time to embrace the fire of God's Presence. It is the fire that purifies our sacrifice.

God can never entrust His Kingdom to anyone who has not been broken of pride, for pride is the armour of darkness itself.
