Churches are not museums that display perfect people. They are hospitals where the wounded, hurt, injured and broken find healing.
Knowledge is like underwear. It is useful to have it, but not necessary to show it off.
Friendship multiplies joy and divides sorrow.
Life is short. Make the most of it. Put God first. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Laugh a lot. Find and live out your purpose.
In every generation, the world is changed by a few people, who stand for something, do not fear unpopularity and dare to make a difference.
It is only when we understand the transcendence of God that we see how amazing his immanence is, and what a huge privilege it is to be able to enjoy God’s intimate friendship.
Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education.
It is a great privilege to meet inspiring leaders from different parts of the church – Catholic, Baptist, Salvation Army, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, and so many more – and discover that what unites us is infinitely greater than what divides us.
Kindness is better and can be more powerful than force. Kind words may unlock an iron door.
Sometimes God teaches us how to solve our problems. Sometimes God teaches us how to face our problems.
Life is a huge privilege and opportunity. God has trusted you with gifts and abilities, which he wants you to use.
With our own shortcomings, we are in no position to judge anyone else. The best way to forget the faults of others is to remember our own.
Just because something isn’t happening for you right now, doesn’t mean it won’t happen. God’s timing is perfect.
When things aren’t working out as you wish, be patient. Stop trying to move ahead of God. His timing is perfect. Trust Him.
You reveal your own character most clearly when you describe someone else’s.
Until God opens the next door, praise Him in the hallway.
A happy relationship is made up of two good forgivers.
There is a story behind every person, a reason why they are the way they are. Don’t be quick to judge. Be kind and assume the best.
We have been forgiven so much that nothing we forgive compares to the amount we have been forgiven.
Things are changed by a faith that defies obstacles and laughs at impossibilities.
What unites the church is infinitely more important than what divides us.
