"But don't let it faze you. Stick with what you learned and believed, sure of the integrity of your teachers—why, you took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother's milk! There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us."

2 Timothy 3:14-17

I love this passage, it's what I base my life and ministries around. Let us never forget from whence we've come. When I think back on all those in my life who have taught, mentored, and inspired me...well We would be here all week if I were to try to list them all and how they have shaped and molded me into the man of God I am today.

So to all of you, thanks.
