Tough times don't define you, they refine you. ‪

Most people like it when the pastor says, "family is priority." What they don't like very much is when the pastor actually chooses his own family as the priority over them.

Going to church is a beautiful act of humility. You are saying to the world, "I need God and His family.

Our weakness is an invitation to discover God's strength.

Dear church, John the baptist died for exposing the sins of others. Jesus died to actually pay for the sins of others.John was great, but we should not follow his model. Our model is Christ. So lets stop telling the world how bad their sin is and lets start sharing how good the Father has always been.

Even if you feel wronged, respond right.

Intentionally or involuntarily, your earthly and spiritual fathers will lead you the perfect Father. You might not recognize it, but even when they fail, they create the perfect scenario for you to run into your Heavenly Daddy’s arms. When they reject you, He will receive you. When they fail at meeting you, He will open up His schedule. When they miscommunicate with you, He will share His heart of love for you and, His heart of love for them.

When you judge others you reveal your inability to see them through God's eyes.

It's not the amount of Bible you read, it's the amount of Bible you believe.

Jesus is more interested in your heart than your ministry.

Your commitment to Jesus is a beautiful thing, but it will eventually dwindle down, unless you fully understand His commitment to you.

Jesus did not die just to save you from hell. He paid the price to give you all of heaven.

Don't let hard lessons harden your heart.

Dear Church, everyone is broken, stop pretending like you're not.
