Gossip is the devil’s radio. But we don’t need to be his DJ. Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? If you guard these gates, only good and positive words will roll off your lips. And the devil will have to find another DJ!!

  I heard someone say we can only understand God “backwards”. In other words, when we get down the road of life, we can look back and see the hand of God moving in every situation showing us the perfect path to follow. Faith is believing in advance what will only make sense in reverse.

  The only thing that matters is how much we love. And yet we are more concerned about how we look, what we wear and how much money we have. If love is the only thing that matters, then shouldn’t we be doing everything we can to cultivate love in our lives. What does that look like? We will love God with all our heart, we will love others unconditionally and we will love ourselves.

  If you ever have the urge to judge someone who is still mired in sin, be careful how you proceed. Hold this thought…Every sinner has a future and every saint has a past. Isn’t it amazing how easy it is to see the sin in others but forget we battled the same sin? Somehow it looks different on them!

  Is your world in a spin? Do you see problems everywhere you look? You can worry or you can trust God but you can’t do both. Trusting God brings peace and victory. You never get anything from worrying except a bad case of wrinkles and sleepless nights.

Sin wouldn’t look so good if the “wages” were paid immediately. When dealing with Satan, all that glitters really isn’t gold. He can make things look so good. He can put a lust in your heart that’s all consuming and he can play on your emotions. Having said that…he is a master of bait and switch. Listen to the Holy Spirit and keep your eyes on the Word. He will show you the tricks of the devil before you get hooked. Don’t fall for Satan’s lies. There’s no good ending when he’s involved.
