“Don’t say God is silent when your Bible is closed. Open it and read it. God will speak.”

Trust in God’s timing. It’s better to have to wait a while and have things fall into place then to rush into something and have things fall apart.

By GIVING to others, instead of GETTING, we can still find we have everything we need in Christ.

Much of what the Bible demands can be comprised in one imperative: Remember!
