On February 5, 2017, the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history began as quarterback Tom Brady urged on his teammates, "We gotta play tougher. Gotta play harder. Harder, tougher, everything. Everything we've got!" Behind 28-3, Tom's team began working with maximum intensity, strenuous effort, and focus. As they built momentum, it brought energy and enthusiasm, the willingness to keep working hard. And it brought a gutsy, remarkable win in overtime. Momentum comes with maximum endurance, focus, and effort - and must be maintained with perseverance, grit, and tenacity. In Asia and specifically, in Vietnam, years of hard work and effort...

Greatness is never built in a day, but it can be destroyed one day at a time. Fame can come in a moment, but greatness comes with longevity. Here's what C. S.

In the shadow of those same streets, a new Jesus movement of warriors - men from across Brazil - are transforming a nation for Jesus Christ.

Thousands attended events to celebrate what is happening in this city - and it's happening in hundreds of cities across...

We know the Bible teaches us about thankfulness and being a man who is grateful. Now, medical science is again proving the Bible correct. Read this quote from a recent article by the American Heart Association: "Some neuroscience experts think our brains focus on negative information to remember pain so we can avoid it in the future.
