You don’t need a strategy to pray. Prayer is the strategy.
Thankful for parents, teachers, and coaches in this community who care for and about the great students in Buford. #prayeristhestrategy#prayerwarriors
God has given each of us a purpose. In Matthew 22:36-40, Jesus says the greatest commandment is to love God with all that we are and to love others. In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus says we are to go out and make disciples of all nations! Love God. Love people. Make Disciples.
Many people try to fight their battles with the wrong equipment, trying to defeat sin on their own. The reality is that God's equipment is all we need to defeat anything in life. God's Word, His righteousness, His peace, and His salvation are all we need to win.
“God is doing 10,000 things for you at this moment and you are only aware of 3.” -John Piper
Just because we can’t see Him working doesn’t mean He isn’t. #havefaith#godworksFORus
Discipline is not just “punishment” as the dictionary says it is. Discipline is liberating and facilitates self-determination. Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet, and discipline “produces a great harvest of peace and righteousness for those who practice it.” Hebrews 12:11
Think of God as a worker in your life. The Bible wants us first to be amazed that God is a worker in our lives: “From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for those who wait for him” (Isaiah 64:4). God is working for us.
Great last FCA of the year! Remember to live wholeheartedly and when the storms come to know where your foundation is. Thank you so much @CoachLiccardo
Whatever the timing or form of God’s mercy, we never rise above the status of beneficiaries of mercy. We are always utterly dependent on what we do not deserve. Therefore let us humble ourselves and rejoice and “glorify God for his mercy!”
“Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom and loving instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.”
Proverbs 31:25-27

Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears of love shed for others are a sign of strength. And until I have learned the value of compassionately sharing others’ sorrow, distress, and misfortune, I cannot know real happiness.
We believe bc we know what God CAN do. Sometimes we just have to allow Him to do it.
What we see are the fruits of the spirit: “love joy peace kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control” (Gal 5:22-23).
