The blessings of God are not limited by time, space or circumstance, but only by a heart cluttered with the cares, doubts and fears this world often brings. Never think that God, or His ability to work in your life or in any situation, can be thwarted by anything, even your lack of faith. A sovereign God will work out His plan and purpose as He wills and sees fit to do...with or without you or your permission!
- Ron Lambros, President, Touching Lives
"Here’s the bad news: Everybody has problems. But have you ever considered why? God could have put us in a problem-free world (actually He did, but we blew it). Unfortunately, we live in a world that is chock-full of problems on all seven continents.
Here’s the good news: Problems are not meant to defeat you, depress you, or discourage you. God meant them to develop you. Problems are not tools to tear you down but tests to build you up. One mark of a successful person is the ability to see problems as opportunities rather than obstacles. The greatest lessons you will ever learn will occur not when you party during the good times, but when you persevere in the bad times. Indeed, that is why the bad times make the good times so good."
- Pastor Merritt
