God has placed within every human being the desire to succeed. Pushing for the next level of achievement is always better than setting the goal so low it comes easily.

We as humans will never “arrive” so we must keep straining toward the goal because the thrill of life is in the attempts at achieving the next goal.

No one is spared from the trying times of life. It’s how we face them that matters. What centers one’s life determines the approach to that problem solving.

Stocks and wealth are worth far less than our fellow man and we must invest well in the lives of others rather than the things of the world.

In every bad situation Christ saw the good and He expects us to do the same as we seek to be His light to those around us in His world.

The Confederate General found life hard in his later years, but with his convictions and courage intact, he did not take a short-cut that would have made life more comfortable. Righteous indignation has its place and must be used in the face of evil.

What is faith? Is it vague or does it have substance? In reality it is a complete way of life, being sure of the things we hope for and being certain of the things we cannot see.

A life well lived is far better than a long life lived wickedly. Jesus said you must come to the Father as if you are a little child.

The seemingly insignificant moments in life are often the powerful events that alter an entire culture, generation, or nation.

Determination is often the difference between success and failure.

The things we do make a much larger impression on the people around us than the words we say to them.

Just because we’ve always done “it” that way doesn’t make it the best way or the method that best honors God.

When playing with fire one cannot be surprised by being burned by it.

Those who make the most noise may be doing so because they are not being heard.

Commitments are important as we walk out our Christian faith as we represent Christ and His reputation in and to the world.

Thoughts develop into actions and action have far reaching consequences for society as a whole.

Be a doer of good in every-day life.
