Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man's or a woman's shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being's day, week, or life.

Someone has said,"Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one's ignorance."..No one has a corner on wisdom. All the name-dropping in the world does not heighten the significance of our character. If anything, it reduces it. Our acute need is to cultivate a willingness to learn and to remain teachable.

Alleged 'impossibilities' are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.

I'm here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.

Wouldn't you like to contribute to an event that is part of Christ's own prediction, "I will build my church"?

Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.

When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
