God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.

Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.

When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way.

Leadership is learned, earned, and discerned. You develop it. It's based on trust and credibility. Others see it in you. You can't demand it.

Most of us want to have enough... good works to get into heaven, but enough bad works to be fun.

Maturity is when you live your life by your commitments, not by your feelings.

There's a difference between freedom of worship and freedom of religion. Worship is an event that happens inside the house of worship. Religion is a lifestyle. It is a way of living.
