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.
children father men
Authentic men aren't afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they're sad, admit it when they're wrong, and ask for help when they need it.
positive attitude optimistic
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
courage pain real
Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.
family children home
Focus on your marriage. Because that's the nucleus of the home, whatever you do to restore its health and strength will naturally restore what's broken among the other relationships. If you have no children yet, this will make a comfortable nest for them to begin life well. If you have children, the changes you make in your marriage will affect the rest of the household more quickly and dramatically than you think.
stars differences steps
And when God steps in, His working is like the difference between a skyscraper and a star.
beautiful adventure beautiful-things
The beautiful thing about this adventure called faith is that we can count on Him never to lead us astray.
joy contentment difficult
Joy is a deeply felt contentment that transcends difficult circumstances and derives maximum enjoyment from every good experience.
