God's forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it-not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.

The Lord delights to surprise us with His goodness, if only we will unlock the door of obedience with the key of faith - which He has given - and then push it open and walk through.

Fortunately, God made all varieties of people with a wide variety of interests and abilities. He has called people of every race and color who have been hurt by life in every manner imaginable. Even the scars of past abuse and injury can be the means of bringing healing to another. What wonderful opportunities to make disciples!

If God awarded us medals, as they do in the Olympics, love would win the gold, joy the silver, and peace the bronze.

Times may be hard and people may be demanding, but never forget that life is special. Every single day is a special day. God is at work in you!

An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."
