When the church becomes an institution, people are nothing more than volunteers to be recruited. When the church is a movement, our stewardship becomes the unleashing of our God-given gifts, talents, and passions.

The limitations you are willing to accept establish the boundaries of your existence.

We need to advocate for social justice and reform so that all minorities are protected not only under the law but more importantly by our cultural values and ethic.
