Ladies:
If He's the one that you've been praying for your whole life...
He will pursue you.
He will treasure you.
He will pray for you.
He will love you.
And you won't have to convince him to do any of these things because he'll recognize your worth. You are priceless.
Boys make false promises.
Men honor their commitments.
Boys prey on you.
Men pray for you.
Boys focus on "me."
Men sacrifice for "you."
Boys tear down.
Men raise up.
Boys blame others.
Men take responsibility.
Time to step up and be the men we’re called to be.
1 Cor. 13:11
I really don't think we're gonna get to Heaven and hear:
Baptists over there,
Pentecostals over here,
Methodists down that way,
Non-Denoms over this way, etc.
We're all gonna be there worshipping Jesus TOGETHER. Imagine how awesome it'd be if we were all willing to do that now.
Noah was a drunk.
Thomas was a doubter.
Jonah ran from God.
Abraham was old.
Jeremiah was young.
Gideon was afraid.
Rahab was a prostitute.
David was an adulterer.
Martha was a worrier.
Moses had a speech problem.
Peter was a hot head.
And you wonder whether God can use YOU?
I loved her when I was 19 and I’ll love her when I’m 99. Today marks 28 years of marriage to this beauty. She’s the love of my life and my very best friend.
I’m truly a blessed man.
If we're wrong and there is no God...it doesn't matter. We live life and then we die as those who believed in something. The end.
If we're right and God does in fact exist...it matters a lot. Eternity is a long time to live with regrets.
I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
Moses waited 40 years.
Noah waited 120 years.
Abraham waited 25 years.
Joseph waited 13 years.
If it seems like God has you in a season of waiting, you’re in good company.
TRUST HIM and know that He has you in the palm of His hand and one day, the waiting will be worth it.

Ladies...
If he’s the one that God sent, he will respect you, pursue you, pray for you, and recognize your worth.
Be patient. The one that you’ve been praying for your whole life is out there looking for you too.
A Christ centered relationship will always be worth the wait.
Listen ladies...if any guy makes you feel like you're not pretty enough, smart enough, or worth his time, move on.
The man that God sends you will see your beauty, appreciate your intelligence and fight for time to be in your presence.
DON'T SETTLE FOR ANTHING LESS THAN THAT.
Shadrach.
Meshach.
Abednego.
God didn’t put out the fire. He just placed Jesus in the furnace with them and they came out unharmed and with a testimony.
It’s not about saving you from every fire. It’s about having the right One with you when the temperature begins to rise.

God sometimes says, "NOT YET" or "PAUSE" because He still has some things to teach you. His plan is perfect so trust His timing.
DELAYS ARE NOT DENIALS
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Mentions in the Bible:
Leader = 6 times
Servant = 800+ times
The greatest leaders aren't out there chasing titles, platforms, recognition, or the next big promotion. The greatest leaders are looking for opportunities to serve.
Matthew 23:11
SO YOU’RE SINGLE
It doesn’t mean you’re lonely. It doesn’t mean your expectations are too high. It doesn’t mean you can’t find someone, and it’s NOT a bad thing.
It simply means that you’re not going to compromise. Instead, you’re pursuing God and waiting on His perfect plan.
Moses waited 40 years.
Joseph waited 13 years.
