Some Words To Live By

  1. Passion for Jesus Christ is the key to miracles by the Holy Spirit.
  2. Some men think they have made a success of life when all they've really made is money!
  3. The Lord gave you two ends... one for sitting, one for thinking. Your success depends on which one you use... Heads you win, tails you lose!
  4. The strength of a country is the strength of its religious convictions! -- Calvin Coolidge
  5. A hungry man sits a long time with open mouth waiting for roast duck to fly in!
  6. A diamond is a chunk of coal that made good under pressure
  7. No matter how difficult the challenge or how hopeless the task, if you are on course, just keep going!
  8. Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear injustice without wanting to get even!-- Ann Landers
  9. There is no fear of judgment for the man who judges himself according to the Word of God!-- Howard Hendricks
  10. The Lord gives us friends to push us to our potential... And enemies to push us beyond it! -- Jim Vorsas
  11. A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.
  12. The door of opportunity is so wide open that it's off its hinges. -- Ernie Reb
  13. Stormy weather is what man needs from time to time to remind him he's not really in charge of anything -- Bill Vaughn
  14. A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.
  15. It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom. -- Horace Greeley
  16. God's love for us is not a love that always exempts us from trials, but rather, a love that always sees us through trials.
  17. To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
  18. Don't complain about thorns among roses; be grateful for roses among thorns.
  19. It has been estimated that in one's lifetime the average person will consume 150 head of cattle, 2,400 chickens, 225 lambs, 26 sheep, 310 pigs, 26 acres of grain, 50 acres of fruit and vegetables. "Man shall not live by bread alone..." That is a lot of food, how much of the Word of God are you consuming? The Word of God is the Bible, the Bread of Life.
  20. A Bible that is falling apart, usually belongs to someone who isn't.
