I grew up with a great sense of insecurity in figuring out what I was and where I belonged.

I love the church, the church that God is establishing, that Jesus died for, so I'll never have any negative things to say about His church.

Freedom in Christ allows you to control the desires that once controlled you.

I want to remain distinct and authentically Christian in whatever realm I'm in. That's really what my aim is, for people to see I truly treasure and value Jesus and His Word.

When you’re reminded that God owes you nothing you find yourself more grateful and less entitled.

I would say you've got to find your identity in God - in God alone - because everything else is a false sense of identity. He's the one who made you, he's your designer and your work and your value is found in him and not in anything or anyone else.

A great storm puts out a little fire but feeds a strong one. Trials conquer weak faith but grow a strong faith.
