Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.
Rick Warren
Image
Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
Rick Warren
Image
Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.
