| 0c122e6 | What reason did God give Joshua for turning from fear and discouragement in the face of huge opposition? "The LORD your God will be with you wherever you go" (Josh. 1:9). When Jesus told His disciples not to be afraid in the storm, the reason wasn't the removal of their frightful circumstances but the presence of their Savior. "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid" (Matt. 14:27)." | Beth Moore | ||
| c84660f | The Bible describes a God who is a thousand things to His children, even though some of these are beyond our ability to understand. So when people insist on humanly reasonable theologies to satisfy their need to believe, the lesser god they're buying is not the God of Scripture. We must beware of recreating an image of God that makes us feel better. | Beth Moore | ||
| 6a50668 | You can drink from all sorts of wells, but unless the source of your water is the Living Water Himself, you will never be satisfied. | Beth Moore | ||
| ab31198 | Not everyone in a stronghold of sin is having a good time. Many people who by the grace of God have never been "had" by the devil wrongly assume that all departures from godliness are nothing but defiance, rebellion, and proofs of inauthenticity They have no idea of the suffering involved when someone with a genuine heart for God slips from the path." -- | Beth Moore | ||
| 5618163 | When Eve dropped her shield of faith, every other piece of her spiritual armor became vulnerable. | Beth Moore | ||

| fcdfdb1 | Authentic faith cannot help but act. | Beth Moore | ||
| 27af44c | The devil wants to stop any believer from fulfilling his or her God-given destiny. He also knows that most believers feel almost invulnerable after a mountaintop experience with God. Actually, that's when we are most vulnerable because falling into sin is the last thing we're expecting. We're wise to expect times of testing after times of blessing. | Beth Moore | ||
| b4581f0 | John 1:16: "From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another." | Beth Moore | ||
| f8002a6 | stronghold is anything that exalts itself in our minds, "pretending" to be bigger or more powerful than our God. It steals much of our focus and causes us to feel overpowered. Controlled. Mastered. Whether the stronghold is an addiction, unforgiveness toward a person who has hurt us, or despair over a loss, it is something that consumes so much of our emotional and mental energy that abundant life is strangled--our callings remain largely u.. | Beth Moore | ||
| ac042e1 | We have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 | Beth Moore | ||
| 834d1cd | We live sacrificially when we're outside the will of God, giving up all sorts of things that were meant to be ours in Christ. We want to claim those things back, but in the process we're going to be putting a few other things on the altar. | Beth Moore | ||
| 1ca92ad | If you'll follow Christ's commands, you'll follow Christ straight to your calling and you'll have developed the strength, grit, and stability along the way to handle it. | Beth Moore | ||
| e890413 | powerful motivation for believing God in our present is intentionally remembering how He's worked in our past. | Beth Moore | ||

| fbf3d71 | Jesus Christ graced earth's guilty sod to offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice and fulfill every requirement of the Law. He shed His blood on an altar constructed of two pieces of wood and fashioned into a cross. Because the fire of holy judgment met with the blood of the spotless Lamb, we need no other act of atonement. But we are desperate for the continuing work of sanctification. Too much power is at stake to continue cultivating an i.. | Beth Moore | ||
| 750c4a9 | You didn't warn us about this, Readier,' said Stowley resentfully. Gilt waved his hands. 'We must speculate to accumulate!' he said. 'The Post Office? Trickery and sleight of hand. Oh, von Lipwig is an ideas man, but that's all he is. He's made a splash, but he's not got the stamina for the long haul. Yet as it turns out he will do us a favour.

| 420d90a | So many people never seemed to think about the consequences of their everyday actions. And then a witch on her broom would have to set out from her bed in the rain in the dead of night because of "I only" and its little friends "I didn't know" and "It's not my fault." "I only wanted to see if the copper was hot . . . " "I didn't know a boiling pot was dangerous . . . " "It's not my fault--no one told me dogs that bark might also bite."

| 9f7fbc7 | I caught a glimpse of heaven once. The Angels showed me. The idea was I'd kill for them. Clean up their mistakes on Earth. Eventually redeem myself. Tried it. Didn't like it. Told them where to stick it. So they brought me up to heaven, to see what I'd be missing. A wife. A son. A daughter. I hadn't seen them since they bled out in my arms. Then I was cast down. Back to a world of killers. Rapists. Psychos. Perverts. A brand new evil every .. | Garth Ennis | ||

| afdb53c | Desert heat or not, the idea that my younger self was facing her last moments was a bucket of cold water in the face. I didn't like her, but she appeared to have her shit together in a way I hadn't for a long time, and she had, frankly, deserved better than me. I tried to wet my lips, had nothing to do it with and croaked, "Sorry." "Don't be sorry. Be good. Be right. Be a hero." | responsibility | C.E. Murphy | |

| 40e2596 | Find anything about the Blade?" Billy let out an explosive sigh and creaked back in his chair, hands folded behind his head. "Comic book references. Stuff about some swordsman named Bob Anderson. Wesley Snipes pictures." "Really?" I perked up, edging around his desk to try to get a look at the screen. "Any half-naked ones?" "Joanie!" I drooped. "I didn't think so. There wasn't nearly enough half-naked Wesley in those movies, anyway." | C.E. Murphy | ||
| aced131 | You ever get the feeling your life is a string festooned with bells and tie4d to hundreds of others you don't know anything about? And that sometimes somebody pulls their string, and your bells ring?" Gary looked at me a long moment before rather gently saying, "Yes and no, darlin'. We all get that feeling from time to time. Difference is, with you, it could be real." | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 446b024 | It wasn't that I didn't feel like sharing. Mostly I just figured they couldn't do anything about it, so there was no point in worrying them. I said, 'A wee little bit,' instead, in honor of being in Ireland, where one adjective was never enough if three would do. | ireland | C.E. Murphy | |

In that Declaration, Thomas Jefferson wrote "that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive... it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government."

| 516f060 | MIKE Nash glanced anxiously at his watch and then eyed the twin flat-screen monitors. Both prisoners were sleeping soundly. If all went according to plan, their slumber wouldn't last much longer. The prisoners had been picked up seven days earlier on a routine patrol. At the time, the young GI's had no idea whom they had stumbled upon. That revelation came later, and by accident. The brass at the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan quickly separ.. | Vince Flynn | ||

| d5cb9c7 | Rapp took his pathetic self-absorbed emotion and shoved it as far down in his gut as it would go, and he plugged it with the first and only thing he had available--anger. That anger slowly metastasized into a suit of armor. For the first time since the news had hit him, he saw a way out. A faint light at the far end of the cavern. He wasn't sure what it was, but he knew he had to head toward it. It was the only thing that offered him hope. | Vince Flynn | ||

| c080126 | In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. This was the beginning with God and the duty of every faithful monk would be to repeat every day with chanting humility the one neverchanging event whose incontrovertible truth can be asserted. But we see now through a glass darkly, and the truth, before it is revealed to all, face to face, we see in fragments (alas, how illegible) in the error of the world, so we.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 4445dbe | I'd be willing to bet that the notion of the end of time is more common today in the secular world than in the Christian. The Christian world makes it the object of meditation, but acts as if it may be projected into a dimension not measured by calendars. The secular world pretends to ignore the end of time, but is fundamentally obsessed by it. This is not a paradox, but a repetition of what transpired in the first thousand years of history.. | augustine bible catholic catholicism christian christianity church-fathers end-of-the-time end-of-the-world hegel historicism history hope marx religion revelation scripture secular secularism time | Umberto Eco |
