I love the verse in Job, where it says a man deserves the devotion of his friends even when he forsakes the Almighty. Now what that verse means to me is, even if I were to say, right now I don't believe in God. I still need you to be my friend, and say, I can believe God for you right now. I'm going to hold you up while you are ranting and railing, and God can handle my ranting and railing because He certainly handled David's and Job's and so many others.

There's much you can't change, but there's something important you can change: you.

Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.

Possessions only provide temporary happiness.

Worship isn't an event to attend & watch. It's a lifestyle to be lived.

We don't have to make the bible relevant-it is-but we have to show its relevance. What is irrelevant, in my opinion, is our style of communicating it. We are tending to still use the style from 50 years back that doesn't match who we are trying to reach today.
