One of the most compelling arguments for the Christian faith is the simple fact that it survived.

Serving people we don't see eye to eye with is the essence of Christianity. Jesus died for a world with which he didn't see eye to eye. If a bakery doesn't want to sell its products to a gay couple, it's their business. Literally. But leave Jesus out of it.

Generosity won't happen unless you make it a priority. The best way to make giving a priority is to make it the very first check you write every month. Before the mortgage. Before groceries or clothing. Before saving. Whatever the amount, do it first.

Your friends will determine the quality and direction of your life.

Every arena of life intersects with what's going on in our hearts. Everything passes through on its way to wherever it's going. Everything.

Communicators need to figure out how well do they engage people, and they should not talk one word longer than people are engaged.

If you're not looking forward to church this morning perhaps it's time to look for a church.
