Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.

We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.

Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have to.

Many believe one can be a "good Christian" without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.

We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.

If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.

The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.
