Becoming like Christ is a long, slow process of growth.
Jesus did not die on the cross just so we could live comfortable, well adjusted lives. His purpose is far deeper: He wants to make us like himself before he takes us to heaven. This is our greatest privilege, our immediate responsibility, and our ultimate destiny.
In all my travels, I've never seen a country's population more determined to forgive, and to build and succeed than in Rwanda.
I can't imagine God not allowing my dog into heaven.
Every human activity, except sin, can be done for God's pleasure, if you do it with an attitude of praise.
Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.
Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.

It is never too late to start growing.
If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.
