The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.

People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

Whenever you serve others in any way, you are actually serving God.

God wants us to practice on Earth what we're going to do forever in eternity.

The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.

As long as you do things for God, you are a Hall of Famer in heaven's list.

How does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.
