By George J. Matranga

“A wise teacher’s words spur students to action and emphasize important truths. The collected sayings of the wise are like guidance from a shepherd.” Ecclesiastes 12:11 NLT

Holiness is one’s inward consecration to God revealed by an outward manifestation to others.

Before one can make an impact, he must first be able to make a dent.

If you are called to pray, God will lead you to act. If you are burdened to intercede, God will move you to intervene.

Growth demands maturity. Maturity commands development. Development insures life.

At times it seems the Lord has left us in the dark while all the time He’s teaching us to see.

The natural man judges others but justifies himself; he accuses his neighbor but acquits himself.

One’s actions are evidence of what one believes.

Man’s life is not his own-whatever controls him, owns him.

Man may have the power of choice but God has all power of control.

The fruit of the Spirit is the character of Christ produced in one’s life. The fruits of Righteousness are the characteristics of Christ’s kingdom portrayed in one’s walk.

The fear of God in one’s heart will cause one to honor God with one’s life.

Carnal choices come with high prices. Spiritual choices come with high rewards.

A disciple who decreases in personal autonomy increases in the Lord’s sovereignty.

An aspect of grace is God’s divine ability through one’s faith.

The fool professes to believe but within thinks he can manage on his own; The just live by faith in God while the fool lives by faith in himself.

Dead men have no attitudes!

“Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right.” Psalm 121:128
