What will be the basis of how I live my life: the world or the Word?

God wants to use trials to mature us. Satan wants to use temptation to destroy us.

Hope is best passed person to person, not program to program.

A hopeless world needs a hope-filled church.

Forgiveness is the choice to let go of resentment and give up the need for repayment.

Do we want to be right? Or do we want to be at peace?

You will never be completely satisfied, completely filled, or completely whole until Grace comes alongside you and meets you right where you are.

Luke 14:15-24 | None of us are invited because we are worthy, we are invited because the Master is so generous.

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." Daniel 3:17-18 NIV

Each of us gets an opportunity to strengthen or weaken the next generation.
