“I came to Him because I did not know which way to turn. I have remained with Him because there is no other way I wish to turn. I came to Him longing for something I did not have. I remain with Him because I have something I will not trade. I came to Him as a stranger. I remain with Him in the most intimate of friendships. I came to Him unsure about the future. I remain with Him certain about my destiny.”

— Ravi Zacharias from the book Jesus Among Other Gods

You're loved.

Those who really know the goodness of God do not pursue perfection which only produces fear - they pursue excellence, which is the willingness to risk EVERYTHING for the love of The Lord.

A faith-filled culture is established when energetic, God-loving people are leading and setting a standard of excellence by serving others, respecting others, and doing life without the silliness, the bickering, and the normal stuff you get when a bunch of people work and do life together. An energetic culture is one in which everyone participates - a culture of life and hope, a culture of great faith and expectancy, a culture where wins are celebrated and failures forgiven. It’s a culture where God-encounters bring change and the atmosphere is charged with faith.

Encouragement is a powerful force, and when it is given sincerely and often, the creative dynamic over a lifetime has the ability to see the seemingly ordinary rise to become exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything that could have been hoped for or imagined.

And make no mistake, humility IS strength. It gives room for wisdom to grow, it opens up opportunities for you to learn, and to hone or acquire new skills. It helps you stand boldly and confidently after you’ve fallen down and asked for a hand up. Humility opens you up to others, heightening your awareness of those around you and how we all need each other. And it's OK to need and to be needed - contribution. God created us for relationship. And community makes us strong.

NO OTHER NAME

One name, holds weight above them all, His fame, outlasts the earth he formed, His praise, resounds beyond the stars, And echoes in our hearts; The greatest one of all. His face, shines brighter than the sun, His grace, as boundless as his love, He reigns, with healing in his wings, The king above all kings, The greatest one of all. Lift up our eyes, see the king has come, Light of the world, reaching out for us, There is no other name, There is no other name, Jesus Christ our God. Seated on high, the undefeated one, Mountains bow down, as we lift him up, There is no other name, There is no other name, Jesus Christ our God. Found hope, when all the world seems lost, Behold, the triumph of the cross, His power, has trampled death and grief, Our life found in his name, The greatest name of all. The earth will shake and tremble before him, Chains will break, as heaven and earth sing Holy is the name, holy is the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. There is no other name, there is no other name JESUS

"By HIS Grace, it has ALWAYS been about a passion for JESUS to be seen, JESUS to be experienced, JESUS to be known, JESUS to presence Himself with us tangibly where He is lifted up, so that all people within the sound of our worship would be drawn to Him! "

Call a boy a gentleman and watch his shoulders straighten. Call a girl a lady and watch her spirit turn graceful. Humanity was brought into existence by God speaking words into the void of the universe. We tend to become what we are called.

… it’s best to live from what you know to be true in spite of the mysteries that you cannot explain. I cannot afford to stumble over my questions when what I do understand demands a response and commitment.

"I said to the man who stood at the Gate, "Give me a light so I may walk safely into the unknown." And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. For trust in God shall be better than light."

“Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by the clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings... The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire, it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest; extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.”

St John Chrysostom
