First impressions never have a second chance.

A story without context is like a diamond without a mounting. The stone may be beautiful lying loose on a table, but when it is carefully mounted in the right setting it can dazzle you with its brilliance and sparkling beauty.

The stronger the winds, the deeper the roots, and the longer the winds, the more beautiful the tree.

Focusing intently on Christ naturally results in a lifestyle of increasingly greater selflessness. And it has another benefit. Gazing on Christ gives us greater ability to look past life's trials and remain calm in the midst of what others would call chaos.

God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.

Don't seek more days in your life but more life in your days.

Anything under God's control is never out of control.
