Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God.

Living by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.

We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.

The love of Jesus Christ covers your sins, and it also gives you the power to let other people off the hook. You've been forgiven, and you can forgive others.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.

As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, "God, I can't handle this!"

Taking risks in older age is more courageous because you have more to lose. When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.
