Focus on giants - you stumble. Focus on God - Giants tumble.

Peace happens when people pray. "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" Casting is an intentional act to relocate an object. Let this "throwing" be your first response to bad news. As you sense anxiety welling up inside you, cast it in the direction of Christ. Do so specifically and immediately. Find a promise of God that fits your problem, and build your prayer around it. These prayers of faith touch the heart of God and activate the angels of heaven. Miracles are set into motion. Your answer may not come overnight, but it will come. And you will overcome.

If relationships matter most then [at the end of our lives], shouldn't they matter most now?

I think that a church should be setting the pace for social justice.

I think we pray, we make a clear-headed decision, and then we quit being so mean to each other. We've got to stop that.

It's one thing for me to tell people not to worry. It's another thing entirely to quote Matthew 6, where Jesus says, "Why do you worry? The birds of the air, the flowers of the field..." He says, "I tell you, do not worry."

No acts are random or wasted.
