John Piper “The meaning of life, according to that word, God’s word, is to know God as he really is; and to enjoy him and all that he is for us in Christ; and to reflect in this dark world some of the light that he has shown to us when Christ, the very Son of God, died in our place, precisely that we might know God and enjoy God in spite of our sin; and then one day to see him and know him perfectly unendingly. Let me say it again. The meaning of life is to know God, and to enjoy God, and to reflect some of the beauty of God as we know him in Christ, and one day to see him perfectly and unendingly enjoy him”.
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
~~~Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)~~~
“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”

Dennis Wingfield “Satan is the Great Deceiver. He cannot create anything but can only twist that which God has created. Satan tries to convince us that God really does not love us, that He really does not care for us and that He really does not have our best interests at heart. Do not listen to these lies”.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Kathryn Kuhlman “As you read the Word, and if you and I have any right to put sin in any kind of a category, I think that we’ll find that the sin of jealousy is the worst sin there is. So great, so powerful is the sin of jealousy that literally its power, its force, caused one of the three most beautiful angels that God ever created and to whom He gave the greatest power, transformed that one from an angel into the devil. It was the sin of jealousy that caused Lucifer to be what he is today, the devil, Satan. And yet how many of us will just label the sin of jealousy as a witness, a minor thing, something that we have never confessed, we have never admitted this sin in our own lives, we do not see it in ourselves”.

“But the [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized), Who forbid people to marry and [teach them] to abstain from [certain kinds of] foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and have [an increasingly clear] knowledge of the truth.”

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.”
