A disciple is one who thinks, feels and acts like Jesus Christ. It is being conformed to the image of Christ as Romans 8:28-29 states-that God's No.1 purpose in our lives is to make us like Jesus.

To begin loving people today, we must close the door on the past. And that cannot happen without forgiveness! Forgive those who have hurt you - for your sake, not because they deserve it.

Some people want tolerance to mean now that all ideas are equally valid. That's nonsense. There are some things that are right and there are some things that are wrong.

Doing the easy thing makes you popular. Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

We're going to worship in eternity. So what does God want me to do while we're here on earth? Practice. Practice worshipping.

Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you - your relationship with God.

The church must always show compassion, always.
