There was no identity crisis in the life of Jesus Christ. He knew who He was. He knew where He had come from, and why he was here. And he knew where He was going. And when you are that liberated, then you can serve.

The moment you come to a passage of scripture and say, "Oh, I know this one already," you're in deep trouble.

You teach what you know, but you reproduce what you are.

The home marks a child for life.

Your strengths develop your confidence; your weaknesses develop your faith.

You can control your choices but you can't control the outcome of those choices.

That's the way to come to the Word of God. Read it as though it were His love letter to you.
