You will find a common dichotomy in life. Those who don't have vision or determination, and refuse to dream the impossible, are always in the majority.

God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription. The Lord doesn't promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments. He promises us Himself. That is all. And that is enough.

God has somehow placed into Christian's insides a special something, that extra inner reservoir of power that is more than a match for the stuff life throws at us.

Wouldn't you like to contribute to an event that is part of Christ's own prediction, "I will build my church"?

If the pace and the push, the noise and the crowds are getting to you, it's time to stop the nonsense and find a place of solace to refresh your spirit

Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.

Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.
