Christianity is anything but safe. Jesus made clear that trouble and persecution stood in the future for His followers.

The church is not a campus but a community. Pastors are not CEOs; they are shepherds.

We cannot do everything, but we can all do something.

We may not understand why certain things occur in our lives, but we understand who to run to when they do.

To delight in the law of the Lord is to find our source of joy outside of ourselves.

Our problems may tower over us, but God towers over our problems.

Let us not take what we eat for granted; let us view our meals as an opportunity to give our Lord praise.
