It’s difficult to fathom the absolute and full transformation that God’s Holy Spirit brings to the believer! Former desires may linger, but they now leave a bitter aftertaste. Our chief aim shifts from pleasing ourselves to pleasing our Father. The shadowy boundaries between good and evil become laser clear. Praise God – He changes everything about us! – TV

“The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him. Rush is wrong every time, there is always plenty of time to worship God.” – Oswald Chambers

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:14-16
