Quotes by Stuart Scott
What am I willing to sin to get, or sin if I don’t get? For me, to really live is what? What have I habitually sought and set my heart on in this life?… The human heart always fixates on some object of worship because we were created worship (Deut. 11:16; John 4:23; Rom. 1:18-32; Col. 1:16).

Just as pride is the root of every evil, humility is the root of every virtue.

[Personal differences have many advantages]: They can encourage us to search the Scriptures (Psm. 119:71-72). They can help us think carefully about how and what we think or what we believe (Pro. 15:28). They can help us work harder at communicating effectively (Eph. 4:25). They can produce maturity and endurance (Jas. 1:2-5). They can help us sharpen one another (Pr. 27:17). They can strengthen our faith in the truth that God is working all things for our good (Rom. 8:28-29). They give us opportunity to practice servanthood and preferring one another (Phil. 2:2-3). They give us opportunity to love and glorify God (1 Cor. 10:31-32).

One of the things that can help very different spouses the most (in conflict resolution) is growth in God’s Word. The more we have God’s Word in common as husbands and wives, the more we will agree. The more each mind is renewed (changed) by the Scripture, the more similarly a couple will think (Romans 12:2). One of the worst things a couple can do is work to change one another into each other’s likeness. They are to be changed, rather, into Christ’s likeness. The more a couple works at love and becoming one, the more differences will be accepted and blended to enhance the marriage.

Your communication will reveal the kind of [person] you really are, because what comes out of your mouth is usually what’s in your heart. If you truly desire to exemplify Christ you will seek to become a good communicator. Everything that Jesus Christ communicated was holy, clear, purposeful and timely.
