One of the ways we reflect God's love and bring him glory is to accept each other just as he accepts us. This means we accept others' quirks and look past their faults in order to see a person created in the image of God.

There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.

Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.

God loves to bring good out of bad. He loves to turn crucifixions into resurrections. Every obstacle is an opportunity. Every problem has potential. Every crisis is an opportunity for ministry. Every hurt God wants to use for His glory.

The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.

We don't have to make the bible relevant-it is-but we have to show its relevance. What is irrelevant, in my opinion, is our style of communicating it. We are tending to still use the style from 50 years back that doesn't match who we are trying to reach today.

When real revival happens, it changes the moral climate of a community...because we've turned from our wicked ways.
