procrastination joy mind
The habit of always putting off an experience until you can afford it, or until the time is right, or until you know how to do it is one of the greatest burglars of joy. Be deliberate, but once you've made up your mind -jump in.
graduation sweet yes-you-can
Let your life yield a sweet, winsome melody that this old world needs so desperately. Yes you can if you will.
wisdom believe good-listener
Good listeners believe they can learn something from everyone.
believe enough
It's not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there.
trusting-him safety faces
We can't solve modern problems by going back in time. Retreating to the safety of the familiar is an understandable response, but God has called us to a life of faith. And faith requires us to face the unknown while trusting Him completely.
perfect trust-in-god circumstances
Trusting God doesn't alter our circumstances. Perfect trust in Him changes us.
christian jesus thinking
Have you ever studied Jesus's approach to talking with people? He didn't always fill the space with answers for them. Let's learn to do that with our fellow learners. Let's give them room to think and answer for themselves.
land people desire
The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it...
life-changing breathing worry
The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don't worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry...He's risen!
beautiful christian encouragement
The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.
lord
No marriage is "too dead" for the Lord to restore.
laughing sacred praying
It is often just as sacred to laugh as it is to pray.
jesus goal focus
We want a crowd to make us feel important and liked. But why is getting a crowd our focus? Jesus never suggested that crowds were the goal. He never addresses getting your church to grow. Never.
jesus believe eye
Jesus kept it simple. The lesson wasn't complicated. 'I speak; you believe My word; your son will be fine.' We complicate what God has made simple by seeing the world through human eyes. We want to see in order to believe and presume that our limitations are His.
