Believing in grace is one thing. Living it is another.

When you have a sense of calling, whether it's to be a musician, soloist, artist, in one of the technical fields, or a plumber, there is something deep and enriching when you realize it isn't just a casual choice, it's a divine calling. It's not limited to vocational Christian service by any means.

It's not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there.

Deep, contended joy comes from a place of complete security and confidence [in God] - even in the midst of trial.

Confidence brings joy when we let God be God.

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

The past is over... forget it. The future holds hope... reach for it.
