Imagine if we (MSBC) became the place that served one another. Imagine if we became that place that, rather than thinking just of ourselves we thought about the other people around us more than we thought about ourselves.

This parable makes it clear that if we love our neighbors only when it requires no time, energy, money, or risk, we will never love our neighbors as ourselves. All love is costly.

Decisive action now with what we cannot keep will in some way make a difference in our futures. The road to who we are becoming in the future begins now.

Unfortunately, the reason you & I are not more blessed is because we still actually believe it is more blessed to receive than it is to give.

God will show you His power, in all kinds of different ways, through the course of your life.  But you will know His presence – the tangible reality of the presence of Christ – best, when you are in the fire.

God may do exactly what you’re praying for, or He may not. 
But just because you don’t see anything doesn’t mean He’s not doing something.

When life gives you something that knocks you down, you simply seek God in prayer. When life gives you more than you can stand, you kneel before Him in prayer, and He will give you the strength to stand.

Our goal is not the goal of being right it should be the goal of helping others be right with God.
