Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . . He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of those who mutilate the flesh!

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

In everything give thanks

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain

Hope does not disappoint.

God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance.

Living a life of following Christ means constant interruptions.

I logically don’t believe that all this stuff [surrounding us] is generated from dust. But I’m also not like “Jesus Christ came down to save us.” It’s almost selfish to think that human beings, on this plane of reality, are the end of it.

My strength came from my relationship with Christ and from the love and encouragement of my family and friends.

And when enough churches are thriving, you can affect a region, a country, and eventually the entire world with the positive, life-changing power of Jesus Christ and the redeeming and restoring work of his people.

Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.

Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.

I model my life after my Lord and Master Jesus Christ and his life. He has called me into God’s family and I am a representative for him so I just try to be obedient to what He asks me to do.
