Every Christian is called to preach the gospel. We need to take the commission seriously.

We also need to recognize that God may have other plans in store for us, and we must be willing to accept that.

God allows hardship in our lives so that our beliefs-those handholds of faith in a troubled world-will became more and more real to us and less and less theory.

Know this: God’s delays are not necessarily His denials. So keep praying.

Let heaven fill your thoughts instead. Because when you do, everything on earth gets placed in its proper perspective.

And any declaration of faith that does not result in a changed life and good works is a false declaration. It is faith alone that justifies. But faith that justifies can never be alone.

The real message of Christmas is not the gifts that we give to each other. Rather, it is a reminder of the gift that God has given to each of us. It is the only gift that truly keeps on giving.
