The history of God's people is not a record of God searching for courageous men and women who could handle the task, but God transforming the hearts of cowards and calling them to live courageous lives.

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. The law cannot change the human heart. Government is limited in its ability to effect culture. This is the role and responsibility of the Church. Only Jesus can move us from hate to love.

It's not your freedom to choose that makes you free. It's what you choose in that freedom that makes you free.

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

A world without God cannot wait for us to choose the safe path. If we wait for someone else to take the risk, we risk that no one will ever act and that nothing will ever be accomplished.

We were created to be expressions of the goodness and wholeness of God.

A person God himself deems as wise is one who not only hears His voice, but immediately begins to act upon His instruction.
