73	Is love the key?
74	Is life just an accident?
75	Is your existence a kind of “living death”?

84	If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.

86	You must know what your priorities are.
87	The absence of priority is dangerous and detrimental.
88	If you’re not doing the right thing at the right time, you are doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
89	Prioritizing sharpens your vision so you can focus on the most important things.
90	The key to maintaining right standing is obedience.

92	It’s very simple: you obey, God opens; you disobey, He closes.
93	Sin interrupts your communication with God and shuts down the flow of His resources to you.
94	If your mind is pure, you will see God in everything and in everyone.

100	Not only will the righteous inherit land to dwell in forever, but that land will be covered with peace and security.
101	The world is ruled by dead men.
102	Our planet spins under the power of ideas.
103	The big idea is the ideology that served as the foundation of the first and original government instituted on Earth.
104	The big idea is the divine aspiration, celestial vision, and eternal purpose of the Creator for His creation and humanity on planet Earth.
105	The big idea is the concept of the ultimate governing program for mankind on Earth that provides for all the fundamental needs of humanity and produces a culture that integrates all the noble aspirations of all mankind, such as equality, justice, peace, love, unity, and respect for human dignity, human value, and personal and corporate empowerment.
106	Death can never kill an idea.
107	Ideas are more powerful than death.
108	Ideas outlive men and can never be destroyed.
109	Everything began as an idea and is the result of the conception of an idea.
110	The most difficult thing to fight against is an idea!

115	You were created to be filled with the Spirit of God and live in perfect harmony and fellowship with Him.
116	You have a choice as to who you allow to tend your garden.
117	Are you a holy sissy?
118	Are you afraid of the devil?
119	Temptation is a fact of life.

121	If you occupy and stand firm during temptations, a rich reward lies in store for you.
122	Your King will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear.
123	Whatever temptations you do face, you can bear, as long as you do so in His strength rather than your own.
124	The Kingdom of Heaven is not a religion and has nothing at all to do with religion.
125	The Kingdom of Heaven is the sovereign rulership of the King (God) over a territory (Earth).
126	The Kingdom of Heaven is a real, literal country, although invisible to physical eyes because it is spiritual in nature.
127	The most powerful expression of any nation is its culture. A strong and rich culture can wield an influence far beyond its geographical boundaries.
128	Are you spreading the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven?
129	There are two kinds of influence: the influence of the moment and lasting influence.

138	Jesus Christ came to Earth to put an end to our sin of rebellion through His blood.
139	Christ came as a “second Adam” to reverse the consequences of the first Adam’s failure.
140	Christ came to announce the return of the Kingdom of Heaven and to give us access through the sin-cleansing power of His blood.
141	Everything Jesus said and did—His prayers, teachings, healings, and miracles—was focused on a kingdom, not a religion.
142	Have you had to come to grips with your own personal defects to understand Jesus and His message?
143	The original intent of God’s mandate to Moses was not to establish a religion, but a nation of people who would love, serve, and honor God.
144	Do you understand Jesus?
145	Have you reduced His message to nothing more than an escapist plan for getting to Heaven and His promises as a mere fire insurance policy for escaping the pains of a tormenting hell?
146	Religion is one of the greatest obstacles to the Kingdom.
147	Few pastors have any formal instruction at all in any Kingdom concept.

152	Democracy is the best form of civil government as we know it.

154	From the Creator’s perspective, life is politics, and He is the essence of life.
155	In Him there is no distinction between government and spirituality.
156	We all are political and religious.
157	Democracy can succeed only where there is a clear accountability to a moral code.
158	The big picture means to see the end from the beginning throughout the creative process.
159	A good artist already sees the end result in his mind.
160	Purpose defines the big picture.
161	What was God’s purpose as the Artist who created humanity?
162	Without purpose, human life has no meaning or significance.
163	Can you see the big picture?
164	Your life has the potential to fulfill your purpose.
165	If you imprison that potential, you rob your life of its purposeand fulfillment.
166	You possess an awesome treasure.
167	Your valuable deposit of potential was given to enrich the lives of others.
168	You have the ability to change your attitude and your internal environment until they are conducive to the germination of your potential seed.

180	Abortion is the ignorance and the lack of understanding of the principle of potential that pervades our world.

182	What are your thoughts about abortion?
183	Most of the potential God gave you at birth still remains within you, unseen and unused.
184	On any given day, you are not all you can be.
