Christian community is the place where we keep the flame of hope alive among us and take it seriously so that it can grow and become stronger in us.

Be sure that you make a difference in the world.

Of one thing I am sure. Complaining is self-perpetuating and counterproductive. Whenever I express my complaints in the hope of evoking pity and receiving the satisfaction I so much desire, the result is always the opposite of what I tried to get. A complainer is hard to live with, and very few people know how to respond to the complaints made by a self-rejecting person. The tragedy is that, often, the complaint, once expressed, leads to that which is most feared: further rejection.

If you meet God in solitude, you discover the God you meet is the God who embraces all people.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

Solitude is the place where we can connect with profound bonds that are deeper than the emergency bonds of fear and anger.

You are the heir to the Kingdom. Prosperity is your birth right and you hold the key to more abundance in every area of your life then you can possibly imagine.
