“If you have a story of grace, then you have a story of grace to tell.”

Sin doesn’t make us bad, sin makes us dead. The gospel doesn’t make us better, the gospel makes us alive.

Worship is our response to what we value most. As a result, worship fuels our actions, becoming the driving force of all we do.

As an overflow of my life – the wake I leave behind with my little dash on earth – I want others to fall in love with Jesus and know of His great hope and purpose for their lives.

Humility is not a character trait to develop, it’s the natural by-product of being with Jesus.

Whenever you say ‘yes’ to anything, there is less of you for something else. Make sure your ‘yes’ is worth the less.

Worship is our response, both personal and corporate, to God for who He is, and what He has done; expressed in and by the things we say and the way we live.

God’s words trump all opinions, including mine, and in the end, I believe God’s words lead to life.

God is faithful. God is faithful. 400 years might go by, but never count God out.

It’s time to blow out the candles on the pity party cake.

We may say we value this thing or that thing more than any other, but the volume of our actions speaks louder than our words.

God is using your present circumstances to make you more useful for later roles in His unfolding story.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Hope is in the name of God, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is when you compare your suffering to the infinite, immeasurable love and grace of God.

I look on the opposite sex with something like the admiration with which I regard the starry sky on a frosty December night. I admire the beauty of the Creator’s workmanship, I am charmed with the wild but graceful eccentricity of the motions, and then I wish both of them goodnight.

A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

Exit gracefully. Heal and grow. Don’t look back.

Few souls understand what God would effect in them if they should give themselves entirely into his hands and allow his grace to act.

When you’re trying to achieve a goal, negative people will just bring you down. Surround yourself with the positive.

As you step every day and we’re going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.
