God loves us and has a plan for our lives; however, we cannot save ourselves. We need to apply his death, burial, and resurrection to our lives individually to be cleansed and become a new creature.

One guaranteed outcome is that if you quit, you will get absolutely nowhere and gain nothing.

We can allow the Lord to make such an impression on us, that the whole world can see it and know we have spent time with Him.

We do not have to walk through this world in fear. Jesus has already won the battle for us!

When we put our trust in the Lord and allow him to guide our footsteps, we do not have to rely on kismet, destiny, or fate to determine our future.

God has set forth directives for us and though he loves us unconditionally, he wants us to pay attention to his word and obey him. Anyone who is a parent can agree that this is not too much to ask of our children, and it is indeed expected.

It is pleasing to the Lord when we reproduce spiritually; however, this is only the beginning of the process. We are called to nurture those who we bring to the Lord and disciple them even as Jesus did in his earthly ministry.

It is not always the most boisterous person that can make a difference in their world, but more often it is the quietest person. It is the small and intentional things that can make the greatest impact.

So, often the simplest things in life can be the most meaningful and fulfilling.

We are the Light of the World and the Salt of the Earth. Two distinctions that Jesus gave to those who are believers. This helps those in darkness find their way to Him, and then they receive teaching and discipling that helps preserve them in this crazy world until He comes to take us home.
