Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.

It is impossible to do everything people want you to do. You have just enough time to do God’s will. If you can’t get it all done, it means you’re trying to do more than God intended for you to do.

If you are a member of a small group or class, I urge you to make a group covenant that includes the nine characteristics of biblical fellowship: We will share our true feelings (authenticity), forgive each other (mercy), speak the truth in love (honesty), admit our weaknesses (humility), respect our differences (courtesy), not gossip (confidentiality), and make group a priority (frequency).

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.

The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.

To change your world, you must change your words. It's the rudder (James 3:4-5) of your life.
