Radio Bible Class is the name RBC used to go by and for years this ministry has been a well of inspiration for many believers. For the next three essay entries it is the plan to present twenty-one “words to remember” as written by Mart DeHaan of RBC ministries. Fuel is energy for our automobiles and all other vehicles of necessity in today’s world. Spiritual fuel is also essential for Christians to energize their lives as we face opportunities, trials and tribulations. It is hoped this group of thoughts might contribute to your supply of spiritual energy.

1 - WHAT WE HAVE at the center of our attention is what has us. King David is both a positive and negative example of this principle. WHATEVER he gave his attention to would either “make him” or “break him.”

2 - GOD LOVES US ENOUGH to accept us as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way. Could anything be better? -- “I am confident of this: that the One who has begun his good work in your will go on developing it …” Philippians 1:6

3 - NOTHING IS SO RELEVANT as the eternal. A Jewish man names Asaph learned this thousands of years ago while struggling with feelings of envy, disappointment and doubt. – Psalms 73

4 - WE SEE THINGS not only as they are, but as we are. Uh-oh – “To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure…” Titus 1:15

5. – TO CHANGE, WE MUST WANT SOMETHING ELSE MORE than what we now have. Maybe this is why the Scriptures say we will find the Lord (and the heart-changing help of His Spirit) only when we look for Him, with all our heart "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

6 – LIVE FOR WHAT YOU WILL NOT REGRET when you die. “What profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Matthew 16:26

7 – THE SECRET OF ABUNDANCE is found, not in what we have, but in what we enjoy (or are thankful for). Paul expressed this in his letter to the Philippians (Chapter 4). Nothing produces wealth more quickly or certainly than a heart of gratefulness.
