Good Words for Today

Prayer is not changing God’s mind. Prayer is finding God’s heart.

Arguing with a fool is like wrestling with a pig. You get dirty and the pig loves it.

“The man who has met God is not looking for anything; he has found it. He is not searching for light, for upon him the light has already shined. His certainty may seem bigoted, but his assurance is that of one who knows by experience his religion is not hearsay. He is not a copy, not a facsimile. He is an original from the hand of the Holy Spirit." A. W. Tozer

"God loves to be believed in." Charles Haddon Spurgeon

"God’s word is the same, yesterday and today and a million years from now." Franklin Graham

Let us love the cross, preach the cross, and never be ashamed of the cross. It is the only power that can lift men and women out of their sins, release them from condemnation, give them new life, and set their feet in a new direction.

"The sun will be turned to darkness . . . before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes" (Joel 2:31). Just in case today is "the day" . . . Are you ready?

There must be a new brokenness among the people of God before revival can come. As long as we blame “someone else” for the spiritual condition of America, nothing will change. God is using the moral disintegration of this nation to call his people to prayer and repentance.

Lord Jesus, help me to follow in your steps today. Amen.

"Plan B or C can be just as great as plan A. You may think that you have made a lot of mistakes and taken a lot of wrong turnings in your life. Perhaps you feel you are on plan F or G. I say, Praise God for a big alphabet and press on!" George Verwer

Apart from God’s grace, all of us are pathetic losers. There are no exceptions. But when pathetic losers band together to seek the Lord, the Red Sea parts, the walls come tumbling down, the enemy is routed, and the church rolls on for the glory of God.

“Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater—the love of God.” Billy Graham

“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (2 Chronicles 20:12). This is my favorite one-sentence prayer because it perfectly describes how most of us feel most of time. Admit your weakness, cry out to God, then stand back and see what the Lord will do.
