An Inspiring Life


… teach what is in accordance with sound doctrine … make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

Titus 2:1,10 (NIV)


A Christian’s life is the world’s Bible.

Dwight Moody


A mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. But the great teacher inspires.

William Arthur Ward

Mother Teresa gave us an example; Billy Graham proclaimed and lived the Good News; but Jesus Christ inspires us like no other.

Whether we put much thought into it or not, our lives are living testimonies with lessons to be learned and shared.

We are all teachers in a sense then, and if we want to be effective teaching tools in the Master Teacher’s hands then truth must be the central fixture of our lives. Second, our lives must be attractive and the best and surest way to do this is to let Christ rule our lives.

Do you want to be an inspiration? Do you want to encourage and motivate others as He did? He, the Great Teacher and Savior of the world is the One who draws all people (John 12:32). An inspiring life needs the Inspiring Lord.


Lord God, teach me, inspire me, and somehow fill and use this life to inspire those around me. Amen.
