Faith makes things possible, not easy. Impossible is an opinion not a fact. Through Christ you have the power to change the world. Live in community and relationship as you watch the impossible become possible.

“God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.”

“Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.”
