Pride is the essence of human failure; and it is also the point at which many a person fails in his or her Christian life. So, by faith, put on humility.

A series of decisions based on commitment to Christ eventuates in a character that is geared to heaven’s standards.

God takes care of the two problems of human nature. One is this: you don’t want to do the right thing a lot of times. The ‘will’ to do right is not always there.

Part of your completeness then, as a Christian, is the fact that you are marked as being His own. Don’t run away from it.

If you know the Lord Jesus, you’re going to show the effects of that relationship in every department of your life.

Make a habit of turning often to your blessed living Lord and committing the present situation to Him… everything from a possible promotion to a flat tire.

Christ living in you is greater than your feelings, greater than your fears, greater than your timidity, and greater than your tendency to back off from things.

You can have the power of God in your life. You receive it by faith; and the index of how much you can have is this: “How much does God have?”

You can be fruitful on the job. And being fruitful means other people will get hungry for Jesus; and they themselves will be brought to Him.

Now you know there’s something this minute that you can do to obey God. Do that, and the decision with which you have been wrestling may well be taken care of in the process.
