"Bible heroes sinned. They fell, they made mistakes, they struggled, they felt lonely at times, they felt like giving up at times, they had fears and insecurities, and so forth. Some of them were even suicidal at different points. Job and Jeremiah, at certain points in their lives, wished they weren't even born"

"Many are on the outside looking in and may even desire to be a part of the family of God, but they fear being looked down on. They doubt that they're good enough, and they're right. No one is good enough. But too often we try to make them think that somehow we are"

"…when the Lord calls you to a purpose and plan, He doesn't usually reveal all the details of how that plan will unfold. He commissions you to begin your journey… He gives you a picture of the purpose and destination, but He doesn't necessarily tell you about the journey itself—what challenges you must face, endure, and have to overcome"

"We must be careful of the words we speak to and about others. Let them be sweet—seasoned with grace—because we may find ourselves having to turn around and eat them"

"If David was among us today and was to do what he did in ancient Israel, he would not have escaped prison—the remainder of his life and story could very easily have been 'life in prison'"

"How will we know that God is a God of the impossible if we're always faced with what is possible? If we're always faced with the possible, then we won't really need God; we could just do it ourselves"

"God's grace is simply defined as God giving you what you don't deserve and not giving you what you truly deserve"

"Though God always wants to have mercy and provide a way out if we repent, so many of us refuse to listen until we face the fury of His judgment"

"The same God who saved me also has more than enough power to keep me. The same is true for you"
