If I can draw the slightest smile across a single face obliterated by pain, in that act I will have begun to understand the power of an ordinary human being to perform the seemingly impossible in the life of another human being. And how can that experience do anything less than drive me to try and make the world smile.

The church is God’s elect that God wants to raise in the country to give hope to everyone

Two things are needed to raise awareness: education and love. And these go hand in hand because we can be taught to love.

Young people today are deeply passionate and crave authentic life based on truth. They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.

The answer to the question ‘How many children do you have?’ and the one to the question ‘How many children are you raising?’ are not identical in all cases: some men are not taking care of their own children, some are knowingly or unknowingly raising other men’s children, and some do not even know that they each have a child, another child, or other children.

Many men remain spoiled boys that have never grown up. Women are prepared to raise them and take pain with patience, both as a condescendant contribution to supercilious compassion and as a proof of the eminence of their sense of worth. ("Prêt-à-penser" / "Ready-to-wear thinking")

The yardstick that we frequently use to determine if something can be restored is based on the handful of inches that we bring to the process, when God shows up with an infinite amount of miles.

We are quick to surrender that which we deem as long dead, when God is quick to restore that which He deems as never really having lived.

Every time he raised his hands on her. He killed a prince from a fairy tale somewhere deep within her heart, brutally.

God wants to take care of us, raise us up and direct us in life

God wants to raise rich and successful Christians up whose prosperity will never end

Some women born to raise a beautiful families while some women are born to build an empire from ashes and rule the rest.

I made up my mind that not only would I become a millionaire, but that I would also raise up millionaires from members of my church

Never raise your voice but raise yourself and your passion for love and life.

If we fail to instill a fixed sense of confidence in our children, we will raise handicapped children who have no handicap other than the conviction that they believe they do.

A ‘good’ father will tenderly cultivate his children. But a ‘good’ father who is also a ‘brave’ father will let the children without cultivate the child within.

Raising your children to love and serve Jesus is fulfilling one of God’s highest callings upon your life.

Raise the bar for yourself, increase, improve and inspire others to do same. Never miss the success of each day!

Break away from the box confining you. Positive dreamers do not follow the status quo. They keep raising the standard of the bar higher and higher. Raise the bar.

Information had become a critical tool that you can use to raise your bar across every barrier towards excellence. Deny this fact and maintain your bar wherever it was without even a millimeter lift.

Without unreservedly surrendering myself to God, whatever place I might raise myself to remains nothing more than a step or possibly two off the hard basement floor of life, for of myself I can be utterly assured that I will never step out of the basement.

For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that’s why I’ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I’m no great runner, by any means. I’m at an ordinary – or perhaps more like mediocre – level. But that’s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.

I’m fulfilling my calling when I raise my voice concerning injustice

I’m fulfilling my calling when I raise my voice for the truth

I’m fulfilling my calling when I raise my voice high

Don’t just raise the bar… Raise the roof.

Ionizing smoke detectors unnaturally raise the background radiation levels in the human environment.

I didn't raise you I be good and weak. I raised you to be powerful and happy.

You must remember that you are called to save and set others free, to raise and develop strong and powerful leaders, who will form the government of the nations for Christ

To Be Raised Without An Earthly Father Is Never An Excuse Not To Discover Purpose

Too often we assume that God has increased our income to increase our standard of living, when his stated purpose is to increase our standard of giving. (Look again at 2 Corinthians 8:14 and 9:11).

Every Nigerian must begin to raise their voice against our societal failures and call them as such at every juncture. In this way we could all bring about a modern, progressive and civilized society.
