THE WORD OF GOD

"The Bible is the truest utterance that ever came by alphabetic letters from the soul of man, through which, as through a window divinely opened, all men can look into the stillness of eternity, and discern in glimpses their far-distant, long-forgotten home."
- Thomas Carlyle

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
Psalm 119:105 NIV


PRAYER

"Remember that the greatest heights of leadership wisdom are entirely inferior to the power of prayer."
- Brian Houston

"Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'"
Matthew 9:37-38 NIV


THE HOUSE OF GOD

When Mother Teresa was asked what she thought the world’s greatest problem was. She answered: 'We draw the circle of our family too small’

"And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2:40-47 NKJV


DISCIPLESHIP

"No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him."
- George MacDonald

"He quoted a proverb: 'Can a blind man guide a blind man?' Wouldn't they both end up in the ditch? An apprentice doesn't lecture the master. The point is to be careful who you follow as your teacher."
Luke 6:39 Message


GIVING

"The difference between what we do and what we can do, is enough to solve all of the world's problems."
- Mahatma Ghandi

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19-21 NIV
