• ¿Qué te ha dado Dios? A Moisés un bastón, a David una honda y a Pablo una pluma. La Madre
  Teresa poseía un amor por los pobres; Billy Graham, un don para predicar; y Joni Eareckson
  Tada, una discapacidad. ¿Qué tenían en común? La voluntad de dejar que Dios usara
  que tenían, incluso cuando no parecía muy útil. Si evalúas lo que tienes para ofrecer en términos de
  de tu tiempo, tu tesoro y tus talentos, comprenderás mejor cómo puedes servir de manera única.
  servir de manera única.

• And when we go to church, read our Bibles, have our quiet times, and go to Christian conferences, we too can build some impressive spiritual muscles, but unless we use those spiritual muscles to change our lives, build the church, love our neighbors, and care for the sick and the poor, we...are just posers. Let us not take God's truth for granted.

• If we are not personally engaged in God's great mission in the world, then we have missed the very thing he created us to do. We are like birds meant to fly but living in a cage; fish meant to swim but floundering on the beach. It makes sense when you think about it. If the Author of the universe created us to play a key role in his unfolding drama but we have failed to find our place in that story, then of course we would feel incomplete.

• If I have learned anything about the purpose, meaning, and significance of life over the years, I have learned that, for a Christian, it is not found in any job, even a job like mine.

Meaning, purpose, and significance are found only by aligning our lives with God's purposes in lives committed to following Jesus Christ.
