God is using your present circumstances to make you more useful for later roles in His unfolding story.

Sin doesn't make us bad, sin makes us dead. The gospel doesn't make us better, the gospel makes us alive.

Christ didn't die just so you could make to heaven; He lives so you can make it through earth!

God always gets the glory when Jesus comes.

When we are foolish God intervenes.

The word advent means "expectation." What advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.

It's not that we should declare the praises of God. It's that we may.
