I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.

When each elder or pastor has his will aligned with the Lord's, we waste no time arguing for our own.

Learning more truth is a poor and cheap substitute for stopping and putting into action the truth already learned

I know of no realm of life that can provide more companionship in a lonely world or greater feelings of security and purpose in chaotic times than the close ties of a family.

It is in lonely solitude that God delivers His best thoughts, and the mind needs to be still and quiet to receive them.

Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

From the tiny birds of the air and from the fragile lilies of the field, we learn the same truth, which is so important for those who desire to live a life of simple faith: God takes care of His own. He knows our needs. He anticipates our crises. He is moved by our weaknesses. He stands ready to come to our rescue. And at just the right moment, He steps in and proves Himself as our faithful heavenly Father.
