163 " •The outward man is perishing; the inward man is being renewed daily. •The light affliction is today’s problems; the eternal glory is tomorrow’s promise. •The things that are seen are temporary; the things that are not seen are eternal. "

164 " Worship is the corridor through which we make the exchange of heaven. It is the avenue that leads us from the emptiness of this world to the fullness of the next world. It is the street that leads from decay and discouragement to renewal and glory. "
165 " For me, my future hope is found in my relationship with Christ. By trusting in him and choosing to live a life dedicated to bringing His kingdom glory, I can be confident that I am living a life with purpose and meaning. My identity is found by what God says and who I want to become is laid out in Scripture. "

167 " In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, ‘Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance’” (Isaiah 19:23-25). “Can you imagine a thing like that?” W. A. Criswell writes. “Think of the years of hatred ever since Ishmael and Isaac grew to despise one another. From that day until this has there ever not been war between Israel and the Arabs? But there is coming a time, says the Lord when the Lord of hosts will bless them all. "
168 " Paul exposed this strategy in his letter to the Corinthians, saying that Satan has blinded people’s minds, “lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (2 Corinthians 4:4). "
169 " When I ask, “What are you afraid of?” I’m asking, “What is it that immobilizes you? What is stealing your joy and destroying your hope? What is robbing you of sleep, night after night? What keeps you from living by faith and being a risk taker? What keeps you from giving your life wholly to a loving God who wants nothing but the best for you? "
170 " We are not citizens of earth who are going to heaven; we are citizens of heaven who are traveling through earth. "
171 " Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now "
172 " Vernon M. Whaley wrote: One day, worshipper, you and I will be a part of that great multitude, that choir from all the nations. No one really knows what kind of choir it will be—contemporary, classical, traditional, or gospel—but it won’t matter. And even if you couldn’t carry a tune on earth, or "
173 " No matter how good your idea or goal is, don’t expect others to immediately agree with your purpose or vision. You must be determined. "

174 " the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. (vv. 12–14) "
175 " didn’t have a lick of musical talent, it won’t matter. You and I and all who love Christ will be qualified to join the eternal chorus, and together our voices will sound across the universe, in one unified statement: “We love Jesus; He is worthy to be praised!”5 "
176 " will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the LORD” (Jeremiah 30:17). "
177 " Notice the first reason people reject the gospel is that “the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts” (v. 12). That’s deception—the deceiving spirits and demons I mentioned earlier. The second reason is more complicated. Jesus described those who hear the good news and “receive the word with joy” (v. 13). These people are genuinely excited about Christianity. "
178 " They’ve seen the brokenness of the world and they’ve felt the brokenness in their own spirits. They know there must be something better. These people encounter the truth and receive the message with joy and hopefulness. They see a pathway to peace and purpose and meaning. It’s what they’ve been searching for! John Starke said, “A nominal Christian finds Christ useful. A true Christian finds Christ beautiful.”11 Sadly, stony-ground believers “have no root.” In times of temptation they fall away. Many of these people are looking for a solution rather than a Savior. They want their problems to "
179 " The idea of identifying and valuing two entities as equals is a biblical concept. For two people in covenant, to harm one was to harm the other (1 Samuel 18:1–4). And to disregard a person’s word was to disparage the person himself (Luke 6:46).Therefore, how we value the Living Word of God, Jesus Christ, is a good indicator of how we value the written Word of God, the Bible. What conclusions would someone draw about your love for the Savior after observing your relationship to the Scriptures for a few weeks? Since both the Bible and Jesus Christ are the Word of God, it’s impossible to value one and not the other. A proven way to grow closer to God is to grow closer to God’s Word. "

180 " go away without surrendering their lives to Christ. They want the blessings of belief without the burden of swimming against the cultural stream. They like the idea of the gospel, but they lack a personal commitment to Christ. Sooner or later, they begin to feel disillusioned, disenchanted, even disappointed. They fall away. It’s been relatively easy to live as a Christian in America throughout recent decades. I know that from experience. However, the days are coming—in many ways they’re already here—when lifting up the banner of Christ will cost something. This will "
