Perhaps the greatest self-deceit is to tell ourselves that we can be self-sufficient.

I have yet to hear of anyone who, on his deathbed, wished he'd spent more time at the office.

As we mature spiritually, we exhibit a growing capacity to care for and appreciate one another in the body of Christ, regardless of our differences.

Perhaps the greatest self-deceit is to tell ourselves that we can be self-sufficient.

I have an unquenchable desire to slow down and find my life going deeper in my walk with Christ. I want to meet him in the depths of my soul, away from the stress and press of everything on top. A relationship with Christ is the key to fulfilling our deepest longings. All of life is about filling the void that sin and separation from him have created within. Filling the emptiness with piles of things, earthly friendships, satisfying experiences, and sensual encounters ultimately proves to achieve less than what we had hoped for. Christ is the only one who fits.

Being part of an agenda beyond ourselves liberates us to complement each other rather than compete with each other.

The Word of God has a supernatural edge with which a million-dollar budget can never compete.
