I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.

I'm not looking for peace on earth through a political solution. I'm a pastor. The Bible talks about three kinds of peace. There is peace with God. There's the peace of God. And there's peace with each other.

So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.

You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.

Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.

We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.

What gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.
