What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.

I think we need to get smart enough to do what's going to help us and not just continue to do things that are going to hurt us. It's pretty easy to read something or hear about it in a message, but it's that personal application of that where it's just you, God, and your problems, that are going to give you the power to get stronger and stronger.

Life will not always change, so we must be willing to change.

If you're strong enough on the inside, you can handle anything that comes at you on the outside.

God wants us to be totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point.

I think that one of the things that Christianity really needs, and the church really needs, is credibility. People need to be able to trust us and they need to believe we really want to help them and that it's not just, I'm-doing-this-for-me type thing.

Before you judge someone else, stop and think about all that God has forgiven you for.
