Courage doesn't mean we're not afraid. Courage means we refuse to be mastered by fear.

Saints didn't set out to have everyone follow them. Saints set out to follow Jesus, and others followed them in their pursuit of Him.

If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, an even greater miracle happened: 12 relatively uneducated guys changed the world and were martyred to protect a lie.

People with a lot of theological study and no prayer life are dangerous... and not in a good way.

What did all the saints have in common? They feared sin more than even physical death.

We can't experience all that Heaven has to offer until we renounce all that the world offers in its place.

We often talk about how we are God's "hands and feet," which is true. That being said, we can't fall into the trap of thinking God needs us like we need Him. He's God - which makes the reality that He wants to use us and be in relationship with us an even sweeter, more profound truth.
