The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the Redeemer to change men’s lives. As he said to the dead Lazarus, so he says to you and me: “come forth.” Come forth from the despair of doubt. Come forth from the sorrow of sin. Come forth from the death of disbelief. Come forth to a newness of life. Come forth.

Choose your friends with caution. Plan your future with purpose. Frame your life with faith.

Though we may not necessarily forfeit our lives in service to our God, we can certainly demonstrate our love for Him by how well we serve Him.

A friend is more concerned about helping people than getting credit. A friend cares. A friend loves. A friend listens. And a friend reaches out.

How does one magnify a calling? Simply by performing the service that pertains to it.

Whatever our calling, regardless of our fears or anxieties, let us pray and then go and do.

The courage to say no, the courage to say yes. Decisions do determine Destiny.
