God will allow us to follow self-help, self-improvement programs until we have tried them all, until we finally come to the honest confession, ‘I can't do it. I can't be righteous in my own strength!’ It is then, when we admit our utter powerlessness, that we find hope. For it is then when the Lord intervenes to do a work that we could not do for ourselves.

I would rather have the wrong facts and a right attitude, than right facts and a wrong attitude.

God often goes to the gutter to find the recipient for His grace. He lifts him out, washes him and transforms him - making him into a child of God fit for His kingdom. That is God’s grace.

The most important thing a born again Christian can do is to pray.

Though prayer doesn't change God's mind or God's purposes, prayer does change something- It changes us.

Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking God uses only 'special' people the strong, the intelligent, the beautiful. We don't think He has a place for the rest of us. We are so wrong!

I want the real deal whatever that means and whatever it takes to get there so I've been exploring.
