I forgive. First, because I've been forgiven by God. Second, unforgiveness makes me miserable. And third, I'm going to need more forgiveness in the future. So we don't forgive for their benefit. We actually forgive for ours.

Christlikeness is your eventual destination, but your journey will last a lifetime.

Familiarity breeds complacency.

Every small group has at least one 'difficult' person in it. If you don't immediately recognize who that person is -- it's probably you!

God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.

You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
