We aren't just thrown on this earth like dice tossed across a table. We are lovingly placed here for a purpose

We want a crowd to make us feel important and liked. But why is getting a crowd our focus? Jesus never suggested that crowds were the goal. He never addresses getting your church to grow. Never.

Do you need strength? Peace? Wisdom? Direction? Discipline? Ask for it! God will hear you.

My order of priorities reflects the level of my commitment to Christ. Whoever or whatever is in first place, if it isn't the Lord Jesus, is in the wrong place.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.

Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.
