"Not every Christian finds it easy to believe." — Charles R. Swindoll

I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.

While I was raised around churches and had gotten to know a few preachers fairly well, the thought never entered my head that I would one day stand and deliver. Not only was I not interested, I lived with a major struggle: I stuttered.

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.

The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
