The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

Your dreams are the product of your longings, a portrait of your potential, and a promise of your future.

You need to remember who God is, forget the painful wounds and let Him renew you.

When we lack integrity, we use power to control. When we lead with integrity, we use power to bless.

Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.

Racists are not born, they are raised. Isolation is the breeding ground for racism. The more you come to know the world around you and people different than you the less likely you will become an extremist. The Church needs to bring the world together.

This thing that haunts you, that never seems satisfied, the cravings in your soul that you are unable to satiate through all the success that the world can bring this is your soul screaming for God.
