Grace, Repentance, and Confession
Tony Cooke
If a person doesn’t first acknowledge that there is a problem, how or why would they bother to change their mind, their attitude, or their conduct about that problem? A person will never repent unless they first confess (or acknowledge) that the issue is a sin. Grace does not eradicate or make unnecessary any other New Testament teaching or discipline. Grace does not do away with the need for repentance, obedience, holiness, church involvement, or giving. Rather, grace provides forgiveness when we have fallen short of His directives, and if we will respond to His grace, we will find the power to obey Him in all things. Read this article by Tony Cooke.
God's Heart for the World
Pastor Mark Brazee
As a minister and as a believer, we have one great commission—go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Building a ministry is fine, but that is not our calling. Building large churches, beautiful buildings, retirement centers and television ministries are all good things to do. But all this falls down the priority list after first of all going into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature.

Ten Reasons Why I Believe the Bible is the Word of God
R.A. Torrey
I was brought up to believe that the Bible was the Word of God. In early life I accepted it as such upon the authority of my parents, and never gave the question any serious thought. But later in life my faith in the Bible was utterly shattered through the influence of the writings of a very celebrated, scholarly and brilliant sceptic. I found myself face to face with the question, Why do you believe the Bible is the Word of God?

DELEGATION
“Delegating is the art of guarding your own time, while giving someone else the fulfillment of playing a significant role in the outcome.”
Shane Rhodehamel
WORK
"Man needs to be reminded at times that work is not the result of the Fall. Man was made to work, because the God who made him was a “working God.” Man was made to be creative, with his mind and his hands. Work is part of the dignity of his existence."
- Sinclair Ferguson
RESURRECTION
"The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. If the resurrection did not take place, then Christianity is a false religion. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth."
- Henry Morris
INCARNATION
"God manifested in the flesh is eternity in the form of time."
Coleridge
EXCELLENCE
"Excellence is the attention to details which gives birth to outstanding performance leading to a full and productive life."
- Robb Thompson
