If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

When God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.

Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.

Small churches become more effective when they specialize in what they do best.

There are many pitfalls in the marathon of life. But regardless of what you go through, you can count on God's sustaining grace.

I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
