As our hearts become pure, our vision becomes clearer.

Sometimes we make things too complicated when we really need to remember that the kingdom belongs to children.

If ministry is not about compassion and passion, let it die.

Ministry, however, is simply loving the person in front of you. It's about stopping for the one and being the very fragrance of Jesus to a lost and dying world.

Union and Communion: this is the essence of Christianity.

To be a son or daughter of God also means you are royalty. This is the greatest of privileges, but it is also an awesome responsibility. If you are truly thankful to God and want to please Him with all your heart, you must do more than just recognize your own authority. You must use it. He asks you to give love as freely as you have received it— not just to those who deserve it but also to everyone He puts in front of you.

If you have God's presence, you have favor. One minute of God's presence can accomplish more than 20 years of your striving.
