‘Every day, we face the choice between following Christ or the world, with various influences pulling us in different directions. Our faith requires daily decisions to follow God's call, or go our own way. Remember, God chose you first. Will you choose Him.’

'The human race, now, is still as empty and hungry as it was when Jesus shared our life on earth and when He was moved with a compassion by a hungry crowd – not just hungry for bread and fishes or hungry for knowledge but hungry for wisdom. Jesus is still the best teacher we’ve got!'
