Favorite Quotations:

Real servants are always on the lookout for ways to help others . . . Real servants don't make excuses, procrastinate, or wait for better circumstances. Less-than-perfect service is always better than the best intention.  - Rick Warren

"As a Christian, you do not know what the future holds, but you do know Who holds your hand.  If you get ready to put your foot down in the wrong place, God will stop you and nudge you in another direction.  He will shift your direction often, and as you look back on the way He has led, you will find that He has never guided you into a dead-end street or into a destructive situation...The essence of being a Christian is putting your hand in the hand of Christ and turning your back on any rights to the direction of your life.  Your future becomes His, and He leads you [for your good and for His glory."

 

~Dr. Dennis Kinlaw
