If we were to boil down Christianity to its core, we'd be left with simply this: relationship with God. The living, loving God of the universe has spoken throughout history, and still speaks today - not just to pastors or priests, but to anyone who will listen. God will speak to you.

Most of us are far too busy for our own spiritual good.

Whenever you see something going well - whenever light begins to chase back the darkness that threatens to engulf our world - look closely. There stands a leader who is holding that candle.

It’s the great temptation for small groups of people to slide into a state where they’re not quite telling each other the truth and they’re not quite celebrating each other. Instead, they tolerate each other, they accommodate each other, and they settle for sitting on the unspoken matters that separate them.

Develop your reflective will and gain better insight before you say or do something.

Life's great moments evolve from simples acts of cooperation with God's mysterious promptings.

The local church is the hope of the world, and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders.
