“What are you doing personally to make your church family more warm and loving? There are many people in your community who are looking for love and a place to belong.

“«Esta es la verdadera felicidad de la vida: ser usado para un propósito y poder reconocer su supremacía; ser una fuerza de la naturaleza en lugar de algo inconstante, un saco de males y lamentos, siempre quejándose de que el mundo no se ha dado a la tarea de hacerlo a uno feliz».”

“The book of Proverbs warns us over and over again about negative associations. Constant exposure to wrong attitudes and wrong values will eventually take its toll in our lives. It is always easier to pull someone down than it is to lift him up. What kind of friends should you have? The kind who bring out the best in you, who lift you up, who encourage you, who make you a better person.”
