God is good and in control. He is moving all of creation to a point where His goodness will wipe away suffering, but the world has not been transformed yet.

Christ doesn't give us the strength to do whatever we want, but He does give us the strength to withstand, and even thrive during challenges or hardships.

God's plans for our lives aren't always what we want, nor are they always understood, but they can be trusted

Our lives have eternal significance when they are lived in simple obedience.

Our best ideas and decisions in life aren't the best until they have been submitted to God.

Anything worth building comes with challenges and demands. When we face setbacks, our past experiences are the building blocks for the future.

The worst thing you can do with your life is to be totally absorbed by it. God calls us not to be consumed by our own lives, but by God's Kingdom.

We stand with God when we confront situations that encourage division and hate.

God calls His people to be a voice to the voiceless and to defend the defenseless.

Every day, we choose to cheat - our only choice is who we choose to cheat on.
