When you’re looking to find who I am and what I’ll be
Just look for the fruit then you’ll know the tree that is me!   

Matthew 7:16, 20

People who merely "like what they do"

will often bring excuses custom-made for you;

but those whose passion is legitimately great,

somehow very seldom show up late.

People will do what they are motivated to

and offer up excuses for the remaining few!

The bacon & egg breakfast shows that the  chicken made a contribution, but the pig had to be committed.


Matthew 25:21     1 Corinthians 4:2      Proverbs 28:20      Colossians 3:23-24
 

We must always count the cost before satan brings the bait, because he buys up the opportunity before we can say "wait."

1 Peter 5:8 – 1 Corinthians 10:13 – Galatians 6:7-8

The Holy Ghost recreates the heart. [Ezekiel 36:26]
The Word of God resuscitates the heart.  [Psalm 119:93]
The Love of God saturates the heart. [Romans 5:5]

Stages of growth: Stage #1 – It’s all about "me." Stage #2 – It’s all about "thee."                   Stage #3 – It’s all about "we." Romans 12:3 – For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. Philippians 2:4 – Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Romans 12:5 – So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

You can be cut, chiseled and buff, six-pack city and doo-wah-dity; but without the Sword of the Spirit, the devil’s gonna whip you like a kitty!

Ephesians 6:17 – And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.  KJV

As long as I can shout, no rock is going to have to cry out!

Luke 19:40 – And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.  KJV

God has a plan for your life——that you be an instrument in His hand to save sinners and edify saints, to know Jesus and make him known in the earth, to stand on the road to hell to tell people they don’t have to go there.

Colossians 1:16 – For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him. KJV
