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

Life is a school and problems are the curriculum.

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

The heart of the issue is an issue of the heart. And that's why I'm a pastor, not a politician. Because I think only - only God can change hearts. And only God can take the evil out. I don't think you can legislate the evil out of people.

God doesn't intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.

Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.
