I believe in brevity.  And since you’ve given me a minute of your time, I shouldn’t take more than my share. Over the years I’ve collected some “brief” statements of truth.  Share them when you can. But if you do…keep it brief!

Pray all the time.  If necessary, use words.

God forgets the past.  Imitate Him.

Greed I’ve often regretted.  Generosity—never.

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.

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!
