There is nothing more powerful than gaining knowledge through our beliefs via personal experiences because when we turn belief into knowledge this way, we know what we know at the very core of our being, at a visceral level.

Knowing what we believe and why we believe it is not an option for the Christian, because as believers, OUR BELIEFS ARE THE VERY HEART OF WHO WE ARE.

When we love God with our hearts in disproportion to our minds, our faith is out of kilter with the kind of faith God wants us to have.

The secret to extraordinary faith is fully engaging our MINDS, as well as our hearts, because DYNAMIC FAITH REQUIRES A HEALTHY BALANCE OF BOTH.

There are two ways to learn life's lessons, the easy way and the hard way. I seem to prefer the hard way.

Everything we say or don't say makes an imprint on our child's heart.

God gave us His Word so we could know truth. His truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth.

The Bible is clear: Truth exists. It can be known. And when we ground our beliefs in it, we are rational.

When we own our beliefs, we have clear boundaries. We know what we believe and we know what others believe. There is no confusion. Our identity is strong to us and everyone else.

To love God with our hearts and our minds, let's resolve to glorify God by not being women who fool others or who are easily fooled ourselves. Avoiding a bad thought day depends on it.

Statements don't exist by themselves. Just like people, they are in relationship with one another.

Consciously and unconsciously, intentionally and involuntarily, willfully and unsuspectingly, our beliefs are the sum total of our lives. It's that simple.

On the other hand, when we disown our beliefs, we lose touch with ourselves. We no longer know who we are or what we believe and neither does anyone else.

Our behaviors reflect what we believe. If we want to change our behavior, we have to change our beliefs.

Nothing is as powerful as one's beliefs.
