“If you were the only person in the universe, YOU would be God’s greatest gift to the world! Celebrate the You that God carefully created and tenderly loves. If you can start there, maybe we really can change the world … one person at a time.

“It’s just a thought. . .”

“A healthy church is less about a place that looks a certain way, and more about a people who love in the right way. And love is generally best shown when it’s given in the face of circumstances we don’t like … just think … of how we have been loved in Christ!”

– Mark Dever in What Is a Healthy Church?

“I wonder what our spirit selves would feel if we took the time to concentrate on doing less of the being and being less of the doing and passionately commit to focus our time and energies becoming all that God has called us to be! I wonder.”

“I firmly believe that it is God’s desire to gift us with an abundance of peace, joy and blessings each and every day. Our problem is that we are more prone to hold on to that which we have decided brings us peace, joy and pleasure, instead of letting go of that which we believe we need and positioning ourselves to receive the future abundant blessings God knows we need and is prepared to release in our lives. Sometimes, you just have to trust, let go and let God. God knows what God is doing. The question is: what do you need to let go of today?”

“It does not really matter to me what you believe, as long as what you believe is as a result of your own study, research, experience and reasoning and not just because of someone else’s interpretation, understanding and teaching. The foundation of your own belief system should not based solely upon someone else’s understanding of who that foundation should be and what that foundation must look like, but based upon the reality of your own lived experiences and the context in which they occurred.”
