I enjoy collecting quotations that inspire thought and provide motivation for eternal change.

Express Your Faith Inwardly AND Outwardly
"All of us have different ways in which we connect with God and express our faith. You might be someone who says, “I express my faith through service. I really like to use my hands to express my faith.” Others may be geared to solitude and prayer or worship and singing. One generation may say, “Discipleship means engaging in issues of justice, creation care or the poor.” Another generation may say, “I define discipleship by being committed to the local church, paying my tithe, or teaching a Sunday school class.” Neither of these is wrong, but there must be a sense of balance between inward and outward practices as we strive for spiritual maturity." ~ Mark Maddix
