When real people, with joy in their hearts approach faith with true commitment it produces dynamic, life-modifying results.  As in any true pursuit there comes growth, improvement and maturity as each person challenges his/her individual walk.  Unlike worldly disciplines this process produces glimpses of God.  Each believer, submitting to the transforming grace, love and peace of the Holy Spirit becomes less like their former selves and more like Christ.  This sanctification process which may have taken careful observation and analysis at journey’s outset, astounds onlookers when faced with the supernatural modifications made in every, surrendered-believer’s life.

Let it shine, Sisters and Brothers as this is the greatest testimony you can give to the Glory of Almighty God.  Letting the world see just how little you are affected by circumstantial pressures or how willing you are to make choices that glorify Him instead of yourself, brings praise to His Name and plants fertile seed for future spiritual harvest.  I am honored to count myself family to so many wonderful people.  Especially those who have put aside self in exchange for letting Christ shine through all their worldly relationships, aspirations and works.  He is wonderful and you resemble Him and I adore you for it.  Praise Jesus, come quick Lord.  Amen.
