The purpose of all prayer is to find God's will and to make that our prayer

Whence comes this idea that if what we are doing is fun, it can't be God's will? The God who made giraffes, a baby's fingernails, a puppy's tail, a crooknecked squash, the bobwhite's call, and a young girl's giggle, has a sense of humor. Make no mistake about that.

Once we recognize our need for Jesus, then the building of our faith begins. It is a daily, moment-by-moment life of absolute dependence upon Him for everything

Poverty is a scandal of our times because it CAN be changed.

Our prayers must not be efforts to bend God to our will but to yield ourselves to His.

Of course you'll encounter trouble. But behold a God of power who can take any evil and turn it into a door of hope.

The cross stands as the final symbol that no evil exists that God cannot turn into a blessing. He is the living Alchemist who can take the dregs from the slag-heaps of life - disappointment, frustration, sorrow, disease, death, economic loss, heartache - and transform the dregs into gold.
