@SteveMcCracken1 Oh yay! Are you here?

When the past calls, let it go to voicemail. It has nothing new to say.

After Paul was beaten (nearly to death) in Jerusalem (Acts 22) and before he was carried away to prison, he took the opportunity to preach the gospel to those who were condemning him. Never allow your present circumstances to take your eyes off an eternal mission.

[Mel Ballantyne @MelBallantyne]

The gospel flows out of us when we live empowered by the Spirit everyday. The message of the gospel NEVER changes, but it’s delivery through us changes dependant on the person or situation. We are merely called to be the willing vessel, God determines the delivery.

[Mel Ballantyne @MelBallantyne]

When going through trials, we have 1 of 2 options - endure the trial w a victory mindset or a defeated mindset. Even if u can’t see breakthrough YET with ur natural eyes, quiet confidence & trust in God helps you to see victory with your spiritual eyes. Choose your response.

@SteveMcCracken1 Love this Steve! 100x AMEN!

If you hear a voice over your shoulder talking about your biggest failure or mistake and it isn’t calling you ‘beloved,’ it isn’t Jesus talking.

When we are firmly united to the God who loves and sustains us, we are able to withstand all life’s difficulties and challenges.

@joelhouston “I can see your heart 8 billion diff ways”.. nearly 8b on the planet, each one a unique reflection of God himself. 🤯 #madeinhisimage

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us ask our Lord to help us understand that love is service, love means taking care of others.

"We don't need to call everything we do "ministry." Just call it Tuesday. That's what people who are becoming love do."

[Joel Osteen @JoelOsteen]

Sometimes we’re putting pressure on people to keep us fixed, keep us encouraged, keep us complimented. Let them off the hook. They’re not your savior. You have a Savior. Go to Him and not to people.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

A Church that loves the poor is always tuned to the God Channel. It never loses the Gospel signal.

One of the most memorable moments of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's #RoyalWedding was the address delivered by the Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry. https://t.co/JtHAlQXKH8

Lots of appreciation for Bishop Michael Curry, from Chicago, and his powerful words for Harry and Meghan. #RoyalWedding 💕

[Mel Ballantyne @MelBallantyne]

God still calls us to serve Him, fully knowing that at some point, we will let him down. #hillsongnetwork #webinar
