Willow Creek Senior Pastor Bill Hybels shares his life verse with us &#8211; 1 Corinthians 15:58 &#8212; and how it has kept him centered on Christ for more than 30 years.</p>
<blockquote><p>Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. &#8212; 1 Corinthians 15:58, NIV</p></blockquote>
