I Think A Lot Of People Believe That They Have To Be Poor To Serve God, That They Can't Have Anything. They Don't Really Even Know How To Give.

If You Go Plant One Tomato Seed, You Don't Get Back One Tomato; You Get A Vine Of Tomatoes.

If You Are A Believer Married To An Unbeliever I Want To Tell You That The Greatest Witness That You Can Be To Them Is To Try To Be The Same All The Time. Don't Let The Way They Act Control You. Dave Didn't Let My Actions Control Him.

Death Is Not The Opposite Of Life, It Is A Part Of Life. A Part We've Not Yet Explored And Thus Do Not Understand And It If Only Natural To Fear What We Do Not Understand.

I Believe Confidence Is All About Being Positive Concerning What You Can Do -- And Not Worrying Over What You Can't Do. A Confident Person Is Open To Learning, Because She Knows That Her Confidence Allows Her To Walk Through Life's Doorways, Eager To Discover What Waits On The Other Side. She Knows That Every New Unknown Is A Chance To Learn More About Herself And Unleash Her Abilities.

We Often Say God Is Never Late, But Generally He Isn’t Early Either. Why? Because He Uses Times Of Waiting To Stretch Our Faith In Him And To Bring About Change And Growth In Our Lives.

I Make Mistakes Every Day. I'm Not Perfect In My Behavior, But I Want To Be And That's What God Is After, A Heart That Wants To Be.

As A Global Society, We Do Not Have To Agree, Endorse Or Condone The Lifestyle Choices Of Others. However, History Has Taught Us That We Equally Cannot And Should Not Excuse Those Who Would Hide Behind Religion Or Misuse God's Word To Justify Bigotry And Persecution.

Lifestyle Choices

New Level, New Devil.

When We Are Made Right With God, We Begin To Think Right, We Begin To Talk Right, And We Begin To Act Right.

I Believe That A Lot Of People In Our Society Today, People Who Have Been Hurt And Even People Who Haven't Been Hurt, Get Their Worth And Value From What They Do, What They Look Like, What They Own, What Kind Of Job They Have, What Kind Of House They Live In, How Much Money They Have, What Social Circles They're In, What Level Of Education They Have, Especially Even How Other People Respond To Them. They Feel Better About Themselves If Everybody Is Giving A Smiling Nod To The Way They Look And All Their Choices.

You May Get An Emotional Thrill When You First Buy Something, But Emotions Are Fickle. You Buy That One Thing You Think Will Complete Your Happiness, But After Awhile The Feeling Goes Away And You Have To Go To The Next Thing. You Just Keep Going From Purchase To Purchase Looking For The One Thing That Will Finally Satisfy. But Stuff Can't Satisfy.

Passion Is A Decision About How We Will Approach Life, Before It Becomes A Feeling!

In The Midst Of Your Battles, Never Forget That God Loves You And He Has A Plan For You.

God's Grace Is Amazing! We're Saved By Grace - God's Undeserved Favor - And We Live By Grace, Which Is Also God's Power In Our Lives To Do What We Could Never Do In Our Own Strength. And It's All Because God Is Love, And He Loves Us Unconditionally, Constantly And Completely.

Everyone Wants To Be An Overcomer, But Nobody Wants Anything To Overcome.

Let's Face It: None Of Us Are Ever Going To Get To The Place In Life Where We Have No More Disappointments. We Can't Expect To Be Sheltered From Every Little Thing. Disappointment Is A Fact Of Life--one That Must Be Dealt With.

Genuine Thanksgiving Is A Response To Both Who God Is And What He Has Done, Is Doing, And Will Do.

God Isn't Keeping A Record Of Each Time We Fall, But He Is Excited About Our Progress, And We Should Be Excited, Too!

I Had Received Christ As My Savior When I Was A Child, But I Didn't Know Anything. I Didn't Have Any Knowledge. I Didn't Go To Church. And I Had A Lot Of Problems, And I Needed Somebody To Kind Of Help Me Along. And I Think Sometimes Even People Who Want To Serve God, If They Have Got So Many Problems That They Don't Think Right And They Don't Act Right And They Don't Behave Right, They Almost Need Somebody To Take Them By The Hand And Help Lead Them Through The Early Years. And That's Really What Discipleship Is. It's Helping People.
