If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Because every day of your life was written on God's calendar before you were born, everything that happens to you has spiritual significance.
You don't bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God.
When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.
We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.
