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 Constitution does not guarantee freedom of worship - it guarantees freedom of religion. And this is what I call America's first freedom...

God uses his Word, people and circumstances to mold us. All three are indispensable for character development. God's word provides the truth we need to grow, God's people provide the support we need to grow, and circumstances provide the environment we need to grow.

If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego. You were designed to worship God and if you fail to worship Him, you will create other things (idols) to give your life to. You are free to choose, what you surrender to but you are not free from the consequence of that choice.

Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!

Your wisest moments will be those when you say yes to God.

A life that is never willing to change is a great tragedy - a wasted life. Change is a necessary part of a growing life, and we need change in order to remain fresh and to keep progressing.
