A healthy relationship is one where two independent people just make a deal that they will help make the other person the best version of themselves.

We must not rest without a desperate struggle to clasp the Savior in the arms of faith and say, “I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.”

Do not rest, believer, until you have a full assurance of your interest in Jesus. Let nothing satisfy you, by the infallible witness of the Holy Spirit bearing witness with your spirit, you are identified as a child of God. Do trifle with this. Do not be satisfied with “perhaps” or “if” or “maybe”. Build on eternal truths, really build upon them. 

Let your anchor be cast into that which is within the veil, and see to it that your soul is linked to the anchor by a cable that will not break. Go beyond these dreary “ifs”; stay no longer int eh wilderness of doubts and fears; cross the Jordan of distrust, and enter the promised land of peace, where the land ceases not to flow with milk and honey. 


Marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.


the important thing to me is that i’m not driven by people’s praise and I’m not slowed down by people’s criticism. i’m just trying to work at the highest level i can.

Your hands, which shaped the world, are holding me.




“Preaching the gospel to myself each day mounts a powerful assault against my pride and serves to establish humility in its place. Nothing suffocates my pride more than daily reminders regarding the glory of my God, the gravity of my sins, and the crucifixion of God’s own Son in my place. Also, the gracious love of God, lavished on me because of Christ’s death, is always humbling to remember, especially when viewed against the backdrop of the Hell I deserve.”

Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives.
