THE MYTH OF CONTROL

“Whatever controls us is our lord. The person who seeks power is controlled by power. The person who seeks acceptance is controlled by acceptance. We do not control ourselves. We are controlled by the lord of our lives.”
Rebecca Manley Pippert, Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World

OUR CALLING

"Jesus didn't call us to be magnificent chandeliers for people to admire. He called us to be a single bulb in a back hall to keep people from breaking their necks when they go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He called us to make a difference in the darkness, for doing so makes us significant and gives us impact." ~ Haddon Robinson

THE JOB OF THE CHURCH

“If the Church is not Making Disciples, then all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible, are a waste of time.” ~ C.S. Lewis
