Thoughts from Mt. Sterling convention

• Read the Bible to see Jesus.

• Jesus never played tug-of-war with God.

• We're glad Jesus didn't base His decisions on cost.

• God doesn't grow weary of our pleading.

• Elijah was willing to pray for what would benefit the kingdom even at great personal cost.

• Pray for those who seem strong; we can't see secret struggles.

• In order for there to be a difference, there has to be change.

• The answer for difficult times is to keep on going.

• There's a reason for every failure and a secret to every success.

• Influences of the world want to creep in, but they don't creep back out.

• Nothing of our flesh will spend eternity in heaven.

• No matter where we've been, there is a right step to take.

• Humility can take a lot and still reach out to help others.  Pride is very selfish.

• Hearing and obeying God saves us from needless sorrow.

• Paying our vows brings greater joy.

• We don't know what temptations will come, but the answer is to watch and pray.

• A column is held in place by the weight it bears.
