God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.

It has come to the time where the most dangerous place to be in America is not the inner city, where gangs threaten innocent lives, or in angry prisons, where only the fit survive, but in the womb of a mother who is being told that if she doesn't really want the baby, an abortion is the solution.

Just as bank tellers need a thorough knowledge of legitimate currency in order to spot counterfeit bills, so Christians need a thorough knowledge of the Bible in order to spot bogus religious teachings. How grounded are you in the Scriptures? How deep are your theological roots? How capable are you of detecting false teachings?
Charles R. Swindoll
Grace releases and affirms. It doesn't smother. Grace values the dignity of individuals. It doesn't destroy. Grace supports and encourages. It isn't jealous or suspicious.

God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.
