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

In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity and love.

Earth is only a pale version of heaven, not the other way around.

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.

New believers are the lifeblood of the church. We can either evangelize or fossilize.

To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed.

God rewards the person who is diligent. And for those who will take time in their day to seek the Lord, for those who will take time to read His Word, for those who will take time to wait upon Him, He will reveal His truths to them.
