Dave Bertolini

“Whether you are graced with the gift of leadership, the gift of athletics, or the gift of creativity, we are called to be good stewards and faithful servants of what is in our hand. No one is exempt, and if you didn’t play your part we would be missing out on the unique grace and the individual strengths that you bring to the here and now. There is a beautiful satisfaction that comes from knowing that we are doing exactly what God made us to do and are being obedient to his calling on our lives. It is as we discover our strengths, and grow comfortable in the grace we have been given, that we will begin to see the promises of God for our wide-open, spacious future begin to take shape.”
― Brian Houston, Live Love Lead: Your Best Is Yet to Come!

“No awesome thing in creation was meant to give you what only the Creator is able to give. Every awesome thing in creation is designed to point you to the One who alone is worthy of capturing and controlling the awe of your searching and hungry heart.”
― Paul David Tripp, Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, and Do

“It is a palpable error of some ministers, who make such a disproportion between their preaching and their living; who study hard to preach exactly, and study little or not at all to live exactly.”
― Richard Baxter, THE REFORMED PASTOR

“Our preaching is not the reason the Word works. The Word is the reason our preaching works.”
― H.B. Charles Jr., On Preaching: Personal & Pastoral Insights for the Preparation & Practice of Preaching
