I believe in brevity. And since you’ve given me your time, I shouldn’t take more than my share.
Over the years I’ve collected some “brief” statements of truth.
Number 1: Pray all the time. If necessary, use words.
Number 2: God forgets the past. Imitate Him.
Number 3: Greed I’ve often regretted. Generosity—never.
Number 4: In buying a gift for your wife, practicality can be more expensive than extravagance.
Here’s another: Don’t ask God to do what you want. Ask God to do what is right.
How about this one: You’ll give up on yourself before God will.
Flattery is fancy dishonesty.
You’ll regret opening your mouth.
You’ll rarely regret keeping it shut.
And I’ll close with this one:
To see sin without grace is despair.
To see grace without sin is arrogance.
To see them in tandem is conversion!
