Each and every one of us being willing to serve the Church will help us become explosively alive.
Faith
God Can Use Nothing
God wants a weak, broken church full of sinners. That kind of church is radically reliant on God’s grace.
Attitude Adjustment
Jesus calls us to change our attitude and become more like the tax collector and less like the Pharisee. Will I?
Persevering Through the Mud
Don’t give up. Keep pressing on. Keep pressing through. The most important thing in the spiritual life is humble patient perseverance.

St. Ignatius of Antioch: The Saint Who Faced Lions

Prayer Changes Our Hearts
Prayer changes our hearts. It helps us to conform our wills to God and be more like him, be more merciful.
Commit to Being With the Lord
If commit to being with the Lord, the Lord will repay you. Spend time with the Lord because you love the Lord and you want to adore him.
Serve Together, Win Together
When we serve together we win together. As more people serve, more people come to know Jesus.
Pray and Don’t Worry
When we pray, when we worship the lord, things happen.
