Personally, I hate flossing. So this is the first discipline I quit when I am stressed. But if I stop this one important habit, then I might be tempted to cheat on my eating plan, stay up too late, or skip my Bible reading. If I stay faithful in doing something that I don't enjoy, I tend to believe that I'm disciplined. Therefore, I eat better, go to bed on time, and stay in God's Word.

God's Word instructs us, teaches us, guides us, encourages us, convicts us, and helps conform us to the image of Christ.

Be careful not to blame yourself if someone rejects Christ. If you do, you might be tempted to take credit when someone accepts him.

We don’t recruit volunteers; we release leaders. Volunteers do good things but leaders change the world.

Your life is too valuable, your calling too great, & your God too awesome to waste your life on what doesn't matter.

Obedience is our responsibility. The outcome is God's responsibility. As we learn to trust him with our future, trust him with those we love, trust him as our provider, and trust his sovereign plan, that gives us the foundation to step out in faith. We can trust that he'll always be faithful.

In each big decision, we'll always make them by faith.
