[Book: Repositioning yourself by TD Jakes]
"Stop and Listen, to God, to your family, to your friends, to those around you"
"Our tongue is like a dragon in our dentures, it can be truly deadly, but, submitted to God and made available for His purposes, it can be transformed by God into an instrument that brings sincere encouragement and life"
"The words you speak have a deep and lasting effect"
"Contentment arises from a spirit of gratefulness, it is the courageous choice to thank God for what we have and do not have, even if you don't know when you will receive the next paycheck, or you lose something of great importance"
"Material things will never satisfy the hunger in our hearts"
"Accomplishments are worth nothing without the right (godly) character (and motives) to back them up"
"Three threats to relationships are, one, not really knowing who God is, two, selfishness, and three, lacking biblical skills in conflict resolution"
"Spiritual growth is more than just a command, it is an invitation from God to life and fulfilment, to become a person who is still growing at every age"
"Beware of the inclination to dictate to God as to what you will allow to happen if you obey Him"
"We seem to think that God just wants us to give up things. He asks us to give things that will hinder us from the one thing worth having - life with Himself, it is of no value to God to give Him your life for death"
"Having your eyes opened and turning from darkness to light is merely conversion, conversion is not regeneration, salvation comes with receiving a gift from God not human decision and effort, we receive remission of sins, Christ's authority and inheritance among those sanctified, this is all by God's grace"
