Does the church have all kinds of problems? You bet, because it's made up of people like me, so I get that part too. But all I need to know about the church is that Jesus picked her.

I'm all for getting together with men and women in small groups around Scripture and letting it just wash over us, but for me, I've been meeting with the same ten guys for like 15 years now, but we don't have a Bible study every Friday, we have a Bible doing.

We'll become whoever we trust the most says we are.

Words people say not only have a shelf life but have the ability to shape life.

See people for who they're becoming. Not who they were.

I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.

People who want to manipulate you will fear your joy, because it's not easily controlled.
