The things you wish were most removed from your life are often what God uses to shape you & make you into who he wants you to be. He wants to use that problem for good in your life. There’s something more important than your pain - what you’re learning from that pain. @RickWarren

Anytime anyone stirs fear in you,
it's for THEIR benefit. Don't be manipulated!
365 times God commands us to FEAR NOT!
One for each day
The Spirit of fear is never the Spirt of God!
2 Tim. 1:7 “God has NOT GIVEN us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power & love & self-control!”

Anytime I hear preachers say "I LOVE TO PREACH!" that never impresses me. So what? You may just like the attention & adrenaline rush. Instead, what I want to know is: Do you LOVE THE PEOPLE you preach to? That's what really matters. Without love, it's just noise. 1 Cor. 13:1

Your greatest ministry will likely come out of your deepest hurt.
God never wants you to waste a hurt.
In this world, pain is inevitable but using it for good is your choice.

My first PDC Conference in 2006 with my wife and the last in 2019 with some of our staff. Always a great time of learning, worship, and encouragement! – at Texas, USA

To DO more FOR God, you must BE more WITH God.
Perspective, Purpose & Power are received in his Presence.

"Some teachers have missed the whole point. They've turned away from the command to love and spend their time arguing over useless discussions. They want to be teachers but they do not even know what they're talking about or confidently affirm." 1 Tim. 1:6-7

Many times the church gets stuck because the way we do church becomes more important than why we do church.

Prayer
Lord,
I want a life that can only be explained by your presence. Amen
Scripture:
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

Gotta wonder how many pastors will add “but if our church went down, would anybody notice?” to their next sermon. – at Fountain Valley, CA

Just show up today.
You do not have to be perfect. That's not possible.
You do not have to be the best. Just be the best you can be.
Be kind. Everyone is hurting.
And forgive yourself. The past is the past, you don't live there anymore.
Have a great day.

Bigger isn’t better. It never was.
Smaller isn’t better either. But as we come out of a crisis, obsessing over numbers feels old and tired.
Quality over quantity is about to make a comeback.
