I have a great staff at the church; they protect me and allow me to focus on more of what I do best.

God has enough grace to solve every dilemma you face, wipe every tear you cry, and answer every question you ask.

Conflict is inevitable but combat is optional.

In order to find Jesus, every one of us needs direction. God gives it. The story of the wise men shows us how. The star sign was enough to lead the magi to Jerusalem. But it took Scripture to lead them to Jesus.

You can climb too high for your own good. Linger too long at high altitudes and your hearing dulls and your eyesight dims.

It's such a unique story. Book of Joshua in the Bible wasn't always my favorite book, by the way. Only some ago did I realize that this book covers a seven-year period in the history of ancient Israel in which they literally went undefeated.They did have one setback, but outside of that, they defeated over 30 kings. They recaptured the Promised Land. They did what their ancestors said they could not.
