"And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.'" (Luke 5:39) Be patient with those who haven’t made the switch to New Wine yet.

Integrity is the nature of God and is an expression of the righteousness that lives in us. Many decisions in life don’t require three dreams and a vision.

My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.
