You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.

We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you're not.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.

Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.

God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.

We're going to serve in eternity. We're not going to sit around on clouds; you know this whole idea of heaven is wearing white robes with angels and play a harp. To me, that would be hell. I can't think of anything more boring.
