my-own
I am often the brunt of my own humor.
animal men
Man is the only animal that when you pat him on the head, his head swells up.
accomplish
Faith itself cannot accomplish anything, yet without faith, no one can fly.
people needs accomplish
God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need.
reflection simple focus
Thanksgiving is a time of quiet reflection; an annual reminder that God has, again, been ever so faithful. The solid and simple things of life are brought into clear focus.
christian growth tests
The best tests of my Christian growth occur in the mainstream of life, not in the quietness of my study
adversity tests painful
Adversity is a good test of our resiliency, our ability to cope, to stand back up, to recover from misfortune. Adversity is a painful pedagogue.
art evil sin
Like sin itself, Satan appeals to the senses. He originated and perfected the art of disguising evil as good.
strong night wind
Hope doesn't require a massive chain where heavy links of logic hold it together. A thin wire will do...just strong enough to get us through the night until the winds die down.
past second-chance people
Sometimes people can't see past us to hear our message. We never have a second chance to leave a first impression.
father dark light
Sometimes I wake up before dawn, and I love sitting up in the middle of the bed with all the lights off, pitch-black dark, and talking to the Father, with no interruptions and nothing that reminds me that there's anything in life but me and Him.
christian profound religion
There is no counsel like God's counsel. No comfort like His comfort. No wisdom more profound than the wisdom of the Scriptures.
pain struggle unique
Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.
spiritual needs rejoice
Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.
