When we build our faith on preferences, politics, money, or personalities, we're on shaky ground. True spiritual growth must be anchored in Jesus alone.

When believers unite in Jesus over everything else, then that unity will produce the fruit of the Spirit for life in the church, and the world will see the coming of the Lord.

It is childlike dependence on God that turns God’s heart to reveal more and more of himself and of his strength to those who come to him with open hands and hearts.
