Quotes
"If we only exist in our mind and we never allow the truth of our minds to saturateour hearts, then the truths of God are just ideas. But if they're true and good, then they're substance and sink into our souls."
"The most powerful way to learn is to experience."
"If we want to seek community renewal, we have to go places with God in our souls that we have previously been unwilling to go."
"We have to see how Jesus sees us even in the worst moment of our life."
"Jesus loves you as you are but He doesn't want to leave you as you are."
