Perserverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.

working for your daed every day was like going to the dentist to get a root canal.

Christians today, no less than people of other faiths, are caught between pervasive apathy and acts of violence, apathy born of hopelessness about the enormity of the evils that confront us and recourse to violence and coercion that seriously compromises or even destroys the goals of a better future. Either way, we can close off the future to which we are directed by God our creator and redeemer.

He who began a good work in you will complete it. Don't give up. Press on. No matter how far you feel you've come—or how far you feel you have to go—don't stop now. Even if you miss the mark terribly, today is a new day. Live for "that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed" you.

It's the squeeze we've endured that proves to the world that the final product is worth it.

Our obedience to God will not always achieve the results we want, but our ultimate call is not to be successful, but to be faithful!

Anything worth achieving in this life requires time, patience, and some discomfort.

There is no substitute for time. Giving time is giving life to others.

You may not see the fruit of your labors instantly, but God himself notices and resides over every seed you are sowing. You are getting through. You are unstoppable.

Deep down, our single greatest fear is to live a life of insignificance, to come to the end of our life and feel like we never really did anything that mattered. That is our greatest fear.

Seek to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.

As men we cannot take our eyes off the road for even a second. One bad moment can destroy a lifetime of careful watching. One weak, selfish decision can crash a decade of keeping your eyes on the road. God grant to us Holy Throne-Room clarity at all times in every situation so that what we are really living for doesn't crash before our eyes.
