You must match your music to the kind of people God wants your church to reach.... The music you use 'positions' your church in your community. It defines who you are.... It will determine the kind of people you attract, the kind of people you keep, and the kind of people you lose.

As a Christian, you can enjoy life because your conscience is clear. You can enjoy life because you are secure within God's love.

A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.

How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, "I'm willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me."

Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans. United not by race or religion or by blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all. When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us.

If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.
