“I randomly opened a Bible to the passages in Revelation about being lukewarm. I realized that I had been living lukewarm. I wanted the best of both worlds. I wanted to fit in. And there's nothing wrong with fitting in if it's within God's will, but I wasn't willing to sacrifice the things that I wanted. That's when my faith became real to me.” IfsWorldRealWantedSacrificeWillingFitI RealizedGods WillRevelationsPassagesFittingLukewarmBest Of Both Worlds Author:Matt Diaz
“Not surprisingly, as the pioneer theme is presented, each goes back in memory to his or her own family line. There are usually examples to identify and which fit the definition of a pioneer: "one who goes before, showing others the way to follow." Some, if not all, made great sacrifices to leave behind comfort and ease and respond to that clarion call of their newly found faith.” IfsWayMadeFoundLinesMemoriesBehindsSacrificeExampleFitComfortDefinitionsEaseThemePioneersGreat Sacrifice Author:Thomas S.

“I just had a device made that fits in your mouth and juts your jaw out like you have an underbite. It locks in that position to keep your throat passage open when you sleep.

“So many misconceptions surround the notion of heroism. Far too many categorize a hero as a champion on the battlefield, a commander of legions, a master of rare talent or ability. Granted, there have been heroes who fit those descriptions. But many men of great evil as well. Heed me. A hero sacrifices for the greater good. A hero is true to his or her conscience. In short, heroism means doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. Although any person could fit that description, very few do. Choose this day to be one of them."

“Dear Heavenly Father, I have a friend who stands as close as a brother, a brave soul. I have seen in him the heart of a warrior... He is gallant, loyal, and true, sacrificing his esteem, forfeiting his comfort, even spilling his blood. But, what color is his soul? My friend has a desperate need, and I have seen it. How can I be his accuser, condemning the one who has gladly poured out his blood in my stead? But shall I deny my witness? There is a darkness, a gnawing void behind those eyes of steel... Will you make him a knight, dressed in holy raiment, fit to take a seat at your table?” NeedsHeartSoulEyeFatherBehindsDarknessSacrificeBloodColorBrotherFitHolyComfortMy FriendsTablesBraveDearDenyEsteemWarriorWitnessDesperateSeatsHeavenlyVoidLoyalSteelKnightsHeavenly FatherCondemningGallantSpillingAccusersBrave Souls Author:Bryan Davis
“On a good team there are no superstars. There are great players who show they are great players by being able to play with others as a team. They have the ability to be superstars, but if they fit into a good team, they make sacrifices, they do things necessary to help the team win. What the numbers are in salaries or statistics don't matter; how they play together does.” IfsDoeMatterPlayHelpingShowsAbleTogetherWinningAbilityNumbersPlayerSacrificeTeamFitBasketballAthleteMotivational SportsStatisticsSalarySuperstarGood Team Author:Red Holzman
