Just as I was learning to be comfortable with myself, I discovered marijuana and alcohol. The world convinced me that I would enjoy life being high.  When I smoked, I thought I became more intellectual, when I drank I was less inhibited. I cannot tell you guys how many hundreds of times over those years I found myself out in bar and quietly asking myself, “What do I have to do to fit in here? Who am I supposed to be in here?”  

When an unbeliever says that they need a sign, first, before they believe, they are asking to bypass the Holy Spirit, before understanding the things of God. 

We can plant or water, but it is God who gives the increase.
