Your Mission Starts Where You Are,not Where

There Is No Way For A Human Being To Come To God That Does Not Involve Surrender.

If Ever There Were A True "just As I Am" Church, If Ever There Were A Community Where Everybody Could Bring All Their Baggage And Brokenness With Them Without Neat And Tidy Happy Endings Quite Yet, If Ever There Was A Group Where Everyone Was Loved And No One Pretended - We Could Not Make Enough Room Inside The Building.

Failure Is Not An Event, But Rather A Judgment About An Event. Failure Is Not Something That Happens To Us Or A Label We Attach To Things. It Is A Way We Think About Outcomes.

Passion For Our Work Is Not Usually A Subterranean Volcano Waiting To Erupt...it Is A Muscle That Gets Strengthened A Little Each Day As We Show Up - As We Do What Is Expected Of Us, And Then Some.

God Is Never A God Of Discouragement. When You Have A Discouraging Spirit Or Train Of Thought In Your Mind, You Can Be Sure It Is Not From God. He Sometimes Brings Pain To His Children-conviction Over Sin, Or Repentance Over Fallenness, Or Challenges That Scare Us, Or Visions Of His Holiness That Overwhelm Us. But God Never Brings Discouragement.
