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

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.

Failure is not an option. Failure is necessary...We try. We fail. We learn. We adjust.

If we want to be better than normal we must move from good intentions to what I call God intentions.

The things that make us sad, the things that make us righteously angry, or the things we care about that others don’t are often a key that unlocks our reason for living. It’s our burden.

We don't have eternal life because we're good, we have it because God is good.

If you are not ready to face opposition then you are not ready to be used by God.
