Dolly embodied what it means to be a Volunteer. She belonged to the world and never forgot her East Tennessee roots.  I appreciate her for the many ways in which she brought people together and inspired us all to dream more.

What you get out of sermons isn’t just up to your pastor. It’s also up to you.

Pride: “I know this already.”
Humility: “I need this again.”

Don’t be a prideful listener.

True saving faith is not the kind of belief in the facts of the gospel that leaves the heart and life unchanged. https://t.co/ajCwqD7uCd

Don’t insult God’s grace by thinking you must pay for it. Rest, not on your own goodness, but on his.
