On Church: Church wasn't designed by an architect (Technically, Jesus was a carpenter.). So why do we think of churches as buildings instead of groups of people who love Jesus?

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

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

Even if God never did another good thing in our lives, we could spend the rest of this life praising Him for what He has already done.

We often forget that calling for peace is the most courageous act we can take. It's easy to call for revenge, to claim injustice, and to launch an attack. It's much more difficult to forgive, to call for peace, to lay down weapons.

The response to stress is not less time in God's Word, but more.

God is calling you to change the world one life at a time and one small step at a time. Begin today where you are.
