Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.

If you prayed as much as you complain and quarrel, you'd have a lot less to argue about and much more peace of mind.

When Jesus started His ministry, the very first thing He did was form a small group.

You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your real purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance and our destiny.

Worship is a powerful witness to unbelievers-if God's presence is felt, and if the message is understandable. God's presence must be sensed in the service. More people are won to Christ by feeling God's presence than by all our apologetic arguments combined. Few people, if any, are converted to Christ on purely intellectual grounds. It is the sense of God's presence that melts the heart and explodes mental barriers.

We have a choice of focusing on our problems or focusing on God, who holds the solution.

God wanted us to choose to love him.
