Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.

Faith is choosing and believing God's dream for your life. Nothing starts happening in your life until you start dreaming. God gave you the ability to dream, to create, to imagine.

In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for power and fame but he says the purpose of influence is to speak up for others and one is the immigrant. He doesn't delineate between legal and illegal.

Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed

Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.

If God only used perfect people, He would have no one to use.

A ministry doesn't have to be perfect for God to use and bless it.
