Do you struggle with having to label everything & everybody?

Shame, shame, shame

Talk to somebody about your shame. You'll thank me for that later.

All people have gifts to join God in healing and reconciling all Creation.

Go out & learn from these gifted people.

Church happens in the neighbourhood.

Hebrews 10:24-25

So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.

Never worry alone

Let others in on the challenges you face.

What ethics & morality are you practicing?!

Do you spend your time & $$ on what matters most?

No motorcycle or minivan is going to bring you life.

Do you have friends that are willing to get in your face?

When was the last time you were admonished?!

Jesus wasn't out of this world

The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.

Believe it or not

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.

EVERYBODY wants a friend...

Be there for someone else.

Seeing through the fog

We live by faith - not by sight.

The early church was married to poverty, prisons & persecutions.

Today the church is married to prosperity, personality & popularity! LRavenhill

Don't let the charge be true of you!

You've been found guilty of cold indifference to your neighbours!

Is your home warm & inviting for your neighbours or a bit cold?!

Be careful what voices you listen to...

Where you invest your love -

... you invest your life.

There are many ways to get from here to there

... so enjoy the ride!

Life can be like a roller-coaster -

Sometimes you can't even get on the ride!

If you talked to your friends the way you talk to yourself, you'd have no friends left

Don't dump on yourself.

Whose boots are you trying to fill?

Just be yourself.

What are you chasing after?

When you tell God you’ll do something, do it—now.

God takes no pleasure in foolish gabble. Vow it, then do it.
Far better not to vow in the first place than to vow and not pay up.

Have faith

I have an abiding faith that this blow is only a disguised blessing.

Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.

No one understands pain like someone who has walked through it.

Trouble doesn't last forever

Life is like riding bicycle - you don't fall off unless you stop pedalling.

Go the extra mile - it's never crowded.

Life is now in session.

Are you present & engaged?
