God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

Only if you are part of a community of believers seeking to resemble, serve, and love Jesus will you ever get to know him and grow into his likeness.

Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.

The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.

If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.

If God does not have our highest allegiance, we will use prayer to try to get things that have that designation.

Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.
