Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
Don`t simply retire from something; have something to retire to.
A good sermon is an engineering operation by which a chasm is bridged so that the spiritual goods on one side-the `unsearchable riches of Christ` - are actually transported into personal lives upon the other.
Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes.
Don`t simply retire from something; have something to retire to.
