Inspirational Quotes by Paul Chappell
“Truth spoken in love unites hearts. Truth spoken in anger leaves a wound that may never heal.”
“Bitterness hurts more the vessel in which it is stored than the vessel on which it is poured.”
“We realized our only hope was in God’s intervention on our behalf, and we fervently prayed He would protect us.”
“A.W. Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
“It is impossible for a heart that is truly grateful for God’s grace not to be filled with joy. 90-DAY”
“A failure of gratitude and praise will certainly lead to a failure of obedience. 90-DAY”
“Recently, Mr. Barack Obama became the first sitting president to advocate same-sex marriage. Politicians will do many things to please their “base,” but godly Christians seek to please God. We must not forget that the Creator who has given rights has also given laws.”
“I believe Nehemiah’s purpose statement can be found in Nehemiah 2:10: “…to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.” This man was motivated by the need for revival—and that motivation moved him to action in serving and leading. Nehemiah’s primary concern was the people’s spiritual welfare, followed by their physical welfare. He didn’t journey to Jerusalem to pass out food stamps or birth control; he desired for his nation to return to God and restore their relationship with Him. Even so, the greatest need of our land is not better government or more effective social programs. More than anything else we need more obedient churches. We need Christians who will personally and faithfully engage in local church ministry.”
“To Nehemiah, the need was so great that he agonized. He wept and mourned before the Lord. R.A. Torrey observed, “We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity but accomplish little. Many services but few results.” When Nehemiah saw the spiritual state of his home, he was moved to fervent prayer. He was motivated to respond spiritually and biblically—and God honored that response. James 5:16 says, “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
“Duty may compel you to attend a weekly visitation meeting and hand out tracts once a week—to fulfill your obligation. Compassion will motivate you to witness to others any time any where, simply because the love of Christ stirs your heart for the lost.”
“When you seek God first in your daily pursuits, He promises to add unto you those things which you were pursuing (as long as they are in His will). Placing Him first in your life should be your daily goal, the main pursuit in the midst of all your other pursuits.”

“Often we become apathetic in our lives until we face a severe storm. Whether loss of a job, health crisis, loss of a loved one, or financial struggle; God often brings storms into our lives to change our perspective, to shift the focus from ourselves and our lives to Him.”
topics: Apathy
“The mundane tasks of everyday life can lull you to apathy and push God to the back of your mind. Refuse to become self-sufficient in life. You need God every day, whether you're facing a storm or not.”
topics: Apathy
“When God’s grace—as opposed to our need for acceptance— becomes our motivator for service, everything changes. We serve because we are accepted rather than to gain acceptance—and it makes all the difference in the world.”
“God’s Word has the power to stir, to change, and to motivate like no human device can. God Himself speaks to us through its pages—breathing fresh truth, courage, strength, and hope into our souls. And every time we open God’s Word, we avail ourselves of the very presence and power of God—it is a living, breathing book “which effectually worketh also in you that believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13).”
“Consider the profound privilege and the sacred responsibility it is to be “called of God.” Even as you chose Him at salvation, so He has chosen you to labor with Him—to carry out His purpose through your life.”
“The church belongs to Jesus—and its growth and health depend fully upon His power and our obedience to Him.”
“Some of the greatest advice I’ve ever been given was from Dr. Lee Roberson when he told me, “Die to self! Die to criticism; die to praise.”
“Years ago when our kids were elementary age, Terrie and I planned a day to get away to have time to articulate the purpose of our family. After much prayer and Scripture reading, I took out a blank sheet of stationary and wrote these words: The mission of our family is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ through obedience to His written Word, and by edifying and exhorting one another as we grow to understand our diverse yet compatible personalities. After each of the children had read the new mission statement for our family, we each signed the bottom to pledge our commitment to live in accordance to it. Terrie and I often look back and remember that day as one of our most precious family memories. Each day as I leave our house, I walk past our written purpose statement.”
