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

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

I want to preach till the last breath in my lungs runs out.

Sometimes we are to guard our heart...protect it from invasion and keep things safe and secure. Sometimes we should give our heart... let certain qualities out and release them to others

Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift of the humble to the humiliated. Grace acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shell casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense.

When we panic, we instinctively turn to our own internal resources because we doubt Him.

That's what this thing called Christian life is all about, isn't it. Going . . . yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction . . . or in pursuit of a precise goal.
