“Be willing to be unliked and ridiculed in order to speak the words of the One who matters most.”

“God does give times of peace in our Christian lives, but it is not all of the time.”

“As we work together as a team, God grows our dreams into something greater than we can accomplish alone.”

“Why is it that we feel bad when “all” we can do for a person is pray for them? We feel like we need to work to help, but remember: prayer is the work.”

“The poor are not a problem but rather an opportunity to show unconditional love.”

“Even in our own lives, we often struggle with a God who is real, who created us, who cares for us, and desires to know us. Yet from the start, God has made clear that you and I are made in his image, on purpose and for a purpose.”

“The response to stress is not less time in God's Word, but more.”

“Your attitude toward Scripture can reveal your attitude toward the Savior. When your passion for God's Word runs high, your passion for God does as well.”

“True compassion sees each person as a brother or sister and acts accordingly.”

“Treat people like family because they are.”

“When Jesus was interrupted, He started where He was and helped those in need who were nearest to Him. There is always another mission “out there”—the next cause, the next city, or the next country that seems to be the most important mission we could pursue. Jesus illustrates that our greatest mission is often the person in front of us.”

“The true test of faith is how we treat those who can do nothing for us in return.”

“Those who wish to stand tallest must kneel lowest.”

“In our modern world, we often separate faith from practice. But the way of Jesus rejects this notion. Only living our faith offers the credibility to teach our faith. Anything less is less that the teachings of Christ.”

“Then I read that Jesus was a friend of sinners. This still bothers me. Not because Jesus was a friend of sinners (because that came in really handy in my case). It bothered me because if I'm trying to live like Jesus, that means I'm supposed to be a friend of sinners too.”

“When others doubt the power of Jesus, be the one who asks Him to perform the impossible. He often will.”

“May we show great concern to those of great concern to God.”
