The benefits [of the resurrection] are innumerable. To list a few: Our illnesses don't seem nearly so final; Our fears fade and lose their grip; Our grief over those who have gone on is diminished; Our desires to press on in spite of the obstacles is rejuvenated... Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'

Lead with action and let the feelings follow.

God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

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

We gain the ability to rejoice under pressure through a carefully monitored training program directed by the Lord Himself.

There can be no more reliable authority on earth than God's Word, the Bible. This timeless, trustworthy source of truth holds the key that unlocks life's mysteries. It alone provides us with the shelter we need in times of storm.
