Mortality

Life is so short. We really don't have many years. And to spend them doing dumb stuff seems like such a waste.

Purpose

A blah attack may sound harmless, but it can leave us in an emotional heap, seriously questioning if life is worth it.

Dreams

So once you've decided to live differently, let God be your guide and hang tough—follow your dreams with determination.

Greatness

Don't forget: Our minds were originally enemy-held territories. We were blinded by the power of the enemy. The mind was his "base of operations" until the light shone within.

Creativity

Every age knows the temptation to try to restrict God's dealings. The majority of people in this world are maintainers. Once we get things set, we don't like them changed.

Commitment

People of excellence are those who see through the clutching greed of our times—people who have declared their undivided allegiance to Christ's message, people who have humbled themselves to Christ's sovereign authority.

Optimism

Vision is the ability to see God's presence, to perceive God's power, to focus on God's plan in spite of the obstacles.

Flexibility

Are you open to change? People who make a difference can be stretched, pulled, pushed, and changed. You heard it from me: traditionalism is an old dragon, bad about squeezing the very life out of its victims. So never stop fighting it. Let's be careful to identify the right opponent. It isn't tradition per se; it's traditionalism.

Integrity

Just remember: Whatever is in first place, if it isn't Christ alone, it is in the wrong place.

Ethics

We need heroes. I mean genuine heroes, authentic men and women who are admired for their achievements, noble qualities, and courage. Such people aren't afraid to be different. They risk. They stand a cut above. Yet they are real human beings with flaws and failures like anyone else. But they inspire us to do better.
