10/30
Please, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. Numbers 12:11

Not only does sin have consequences, but also each time we sin, we reinforce a pattern that becomes harder and harder to break. If we persist in sin with the thought that one day we will get right with God, we should remind ourselves that God may still be there to forgive and restore but we may not be. Author Unknown

O LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.  Jeremiah 5:3

God whispers to us in our pleasure but shouts to us in our pain.  C.S. Lewis

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.” Matthew 21:21

Christ said we could move mountains if we had faith. But He didn’t say we wouldn’t need a shovel.  Joyce Vollmer Brown

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

You can no more blame your circumstances for your character than you can blame the mirror for the way you look.  Anonymous

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.  Matthew 16:24:25

It is never said in Scripture that we can have “Christ and…”; it is always “Christ or…” Christ or Caesar, Christ or the world, Christ or Antichrist.  What is your or?  Billy Graham

You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,  things too wonderful for me to know.  Job 42:3

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. Galileo Galilei

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  Philippians 3:12

If you are going through hell, keep going. Sir Winston Churchill
