Joy is an outward expression of an inward delight. - Evangelist Jim Cook

God is not impressed by pedigree. By pedigree, I mean your family heritage, your church, or your college. I happen to have several preachers in my family, but my kids aren't impressed by the number of preachers-they are concerned about the preacher they live with! The truth is, a great family heritage is just one generation away from complete reprobates. Being a member of a good, Bible-preaching church does not gain you privileged status with God, either. Thank God for your college, too, but none of the parts of your "pedigree" impress God one bit! -Evangelist Wil Rice

Those who do not cast down evil thoughts risk being cast down by evil thoughts. -Rand Hummel, Today's Christian Preacher, Fall 2008.

It's no disgrace to fail; it is a disgrace to do less than your best to keep from failing. Evangelist Bob Jones Sr.

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life........... What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. -Unknown

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind. - Henry James
