Be prepared to make sacrifices for a cause. Too many great ideas die because people don’t invest time, money, and energy into following through on them. When God calls you to support a cause, he will provide what you need to do it – but not necessarily all that you want. Hamilton’s Yorktown experience exemplifies that. He and others ......

Our hearts should break over those who don’t know Jesus, because they face an eternity without him. This mindset draws us back to the two most important things Christians are for, loving God and loving others.When we share the ......

Soli Deo Gloria, or the glory of God alone, means that we are meant to live solely for God’s glory. 1 Peter 4:11 reads, “Whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.
