In spite of our high-tech world and efficient procedures, people remain the essential ingredient of life.

Faith does not change my circumstances; faith changes me. Faith may not bring in the tuition check when I need it, but faith will give me what it takes to hang on.

Your call will become clear as as your mind is transformed by the reading of Scripture and the internal work of God's Spirit. The Lord never hides His will from us.

People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.
