We minister the Word of God. The proclamation of the Gospel comes after individuals have opened their hearts to God and turned from themselves to others. Only then are they truly ready to hear and benefit fully from the Word of the Lord.

Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.

When people are around us, they should leave better off than they were previously. Rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, people should feel challenged and inspired after spending any time with you and me.

Don't just go through it; grow through it.

We were old sinners - but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

When you're tempted to be upset, ask yourself 'Is this worth giving up my joy?'

The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.
