One of Bryan's favorite quotes is:"-True love to Christ is in every case the Holy Spiritâs work, and must be wrought in the heart by him. He is the efficient cause of it; but the logical reason why we love Jesus lies in himself. Why do we love Jesus? Because he first loved us. Why do we love Jesus? Because he âgave himself for us.â We have life through his death; we have peace through his blood. Though he was rich, yet for our sakes he became poor. Why do we love Jesus? Because of the excellency of his person. We are filled with a sense of his beauty! a consciousness of his infinite perfection! His greatness, goodness, and loveliness, in one resplendent ray, combine to enchant the soul till it is so ravished that it exclaims, âYea, he is altogether lovely.â Blessed love thisâa love which binds the heart with chains more soft than silk, and yet more firm than iron!
-âbuild your history in Christ and he will make history through you.â
-We can pray for deliverance, and GOD will hear our prayers. HIS answer will be whatever is the absolute best thing for us because it is filled with love. HE has already given us the power to overcome everything. HE has faith in us and trusts us to use that power. HE already knows we can do it. Itâs time we believe it too.
-Do people know you're a christian based on your actions or do they just think you're a christian because of your acting?
-'To get something you never had,
you have to do something you never did.'
When God takes something from your grasp,
He's not punishing you, but merely opening
your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where
the Grace of God will not protect you.'
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.
C.S. Lewis
1 Corinthians 11:32
But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourse...Expand for more
lf. Unless you know God as thatâand, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparisonâyou do not know God at all. As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.
-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
-Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain."
"Take the anger from your hearts. Wipe the tears from God's eyes. And live a life of love."
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world really needs is people who have come alive!"
-(Sarah) Why would you sit on the inside if you have to pee...
-(Alex) Yea pee responsibly!
-You have two left........................................... .....................................................SWEET!!
"Surprise me God" -Terry Esau
"Go Confidently In The Direction Of Your Dreams.
Live The Life You Have Imagined."
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine,
after the rain ....
Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call ...
He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear ...
Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
dawn's early light ...
The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ..
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
"God always sends rainbows ....
after the rain ... "
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks," Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?" -Jay Leno
"I liked that Robin Hood movie - well actually i prefer men in tights" - Austin
"Be in the world, not of the world"
"AHHHHHHHH...My twenty year old rage!!!"
-Amanda Payne".
