God is not a taker. God is a giver.
God had a heartbeat for 18-25 years old...the vast majority of whom don't have a clue why they are on this planet.
Christ didn't die just so you could make to heaven; He lives so you can make it through earth!
Sin doesn't make you bad, it makes you dead
It's not that we should declare the praises of God. It's that we may.
Whether it's an attorney or a bond trader or a journalist, or a musician or pastor, you want to do your best. You don't want to seek acclaim. You don't want to seek awards. You want to seek to do your best at what God's given you.
