I've often said why does God leave us here on earth, once we accept Christ, once we're in the family, why didn't he just kill us. Why leave us here? Well, because he's working on our character through these trials, these tribulations, we're learning to practice what we're going to do in heaven. So really, the kingdom mindset is actually the eternal mindset. It's not just about eternal life. Eternal life is getting ready for that.

If God only used perfect people, He would have no one to use.

We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.

At first opposites attract. Then opposites attack.

If a pastor focuses only on teaching, he grows members with big ears and rears but tiny hands and hearts.Service is MODELED not taught.

Limited faith, limited future. Unlimited faith, unlimited future.

Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have to.
