While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow.

Christlikeness is your eventual destination, but your journey will last a lifetime.

Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record.

When a human body is out of balance we call that disease, which indicates dis-ease of the body. Likewise, when the body of Christ becomes unbalanced, disease occurs... Health will occur only when everything is brought back into balance. The task of church leadership is to discover and remove growth-restricting diseases and barriers so that natural, normal growth can occur.

Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.
