#ResignToServe
“The first is George Washington, whose birthday is next Sunday. But at the end of the revolutionary war, he stood at the height of influence. His troops adored him, and the nation revered him. Many in Europe assumed that as he had led the colonies to victory through the war that he would soon seize power and crown himself king. But in 1783, after victory over Britain, Washington voluntarily resigned as commander in chief of the Continental Army and returned home to Mount Vernon. Historians still call it one of the most remarkable acts of restraint in modern history.”

#HumanDignityMatters
“Anything that undercuts the dignity of the human being, the human person is a form of killing. He warns against the type of anger that classifies someone as the enemy or an obstacle or an impediment because that obliterates their humanity and reduces them to a mere commodity to be manipulated and used as a pawn for sometimes very nefarious purposes.”

#FaithInLoss
“we just recently, last Sunday, had one of our brothers in our TLP program, which is our transitional living program, passed away from stage four lung cancer. He went to the hospital several times due to his lung collapsing. Good brother in Christ and good friend. I was able to be there when the police came in and the fire department came in in the corner. It was I'm not trying to sound selfish when I say this. It was heartbreaking to see him go, but I do know that he is with the Lord Jesus Christ right now by his side, and he will truly be missed.”

#ExamineYourAttachments
“Makes me think, doesn't it? What are the things I'm holding on to, putting hope in, trusting in, that are really nothing but a handful of garbage? If anything you're holding on to, you're thinking is a win that is not Jesus, is garbage. It will fail you. I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ. You see, there's this longing within Paul to go deeper, to know Jesus, the very one he was trying to persecute with his zeal and everything else. He came in contact with him.”

#LentenTransformation
“No matter what, I think just like in our story today, we will find that Jesus will come to you, touch you on the shoulder, and say, get up. Don't be afraid. This Lent made the slow miracle of transfiguration, of transformation start working its way through us so we might have the courage to be vulnerable and glimpse the beauty of Christ. Amen.”

#MacedoniaFamily
“I welcome you to this place called Macedonia, a church that is not perfect. None of us up in here are perfect. Yet every day, we try to be more and more like Christ. I also know that you're not here by accident, but God has brought you here by divine assignment. You're a piece of our Macedonia puzzle, and I'm excited to have you here. I'm most excited to see how God's gonna use you for his glory.”

#PowerAndHumility
“Nearly a century later, Abraham Lincoln held this nation together through civil war. He he commanded armies. He shaped the future of the republic. And yet, in his second inaugural address, he said the almighty has his own purposes. And in a private letter, he once admitted, I claim not to have controlled events but confessed plainly that events have controlled me. Both men held immense power, And both men understood something of its limitations, which creates for us, I think, still today a very vital question, and the question is simply this, what is power?”

#HowDoYouChoose
“And as she looked around, she asked a question that has resonated with me throughout these thirty five years or so. Keeps coming back to me. She looked around and she looked at us and she said, how do you choose? How do you choose amid this abundance, this unimaginable abundance.”

#LetGoOfPastWins
“I've lost all those winds. I've gave them aside. I put them they were just hurting me. I consider them, in fact, garbage. This is a harsh word. This isn't a pleasant word he uses here. It is a harsh word. Rubbish. That's not a garbage. That's not it. It's deeper. It would be offensive, what he's actually saying to all of us in this room. That is what he's considering all the wins that he's had in his life, all the things he held to. They are garbage.”

#MissionTestimony
“I'm coming up here today to talk about who I am and what brought me here to this church and what make what what I am as a believer in Jesus Christ. I'm not much of a public speaker, so please forgive me. I'll try to do my best through God. And so I'm currently I stay at the mission. I work at the mission. I went to the program. Pastor Rob was my counselor for nine months, and”
