Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God.

There is more grace in God's heart than there is sin in your past.

You become stronger only when you become weaker. When you surrender your will to God, you discover the resources to do what God requires.

Everything that God brings into our life is directed to one purpose: that we might be conformed to the image of Christ.

A world without love would be no world.

When we make a true commitment to walk in love, it usually causes a huge shift in our lifestyle. Many of our ways - our thoughts, our conversation, our habits - have to change.
