No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren’t the message, you are just the messenger. - anonymous
The power of the Church is not a parade of flawless people, but of a flawless Christ who embraces our flaws. The Church is not made up of the whole people, rather of the broken people who find wholeness in a Christ who was broken for us. - Mike Yaconelli
