Jesus always pointed people towards a better version of themselves - particularly when they'd failed.

When we love people but don't make it about us, we're exchanging currency we can use for a while for currency we can use forever.

God isn't trying to make our lives easier; He wants to make them more meaningful.

We might be known for what we believed, but we're certain to be remembered for what we did about it.

Here's our job as believers, love everybody ALWAYS!

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.

One thing I do is (and I realize this might sound nuts), every month or so, I try to take like an Etch-a-sketch [so to speak], and I clear my faith. I go to zero, clear the deck. And I start adding things back to my faith, one at a time. What would be the first thing I'd add back? Jesus. It sounds a little bit like a Sunday school answer, but that's what I do. Then what's the next thing? And I'd say, well, loving people. And then the next.
