christian religion church
Wouldn't you like to contribute to an event that is part of Christ's own prediction, "I will build my church"?
thinking church three
So, you want to be like Christ? Me too. But that kind of godliness won't just happen by hanging around a church or thinking lofty thoughts three or four times a day or learning a few verses of Scripture. It will take more - much more. Disciplining ourselves will require the same kind of focused thinking and living that our Master modeled during His brief life on earth.
media church twisted
When a church is spending more of its budget on media than shepherding, something is out of whack. We have gotten things twisted around.
doctors office church
'We really shouldn't look like a church.' I've heard that so much I want to vomit. 'Why?' I ask. 'Do you want your bank to look like a bank? Do you want your doctor's office to look like a doctor's office, or would you prefer your doctor to dress like a clown?'
running responsibility church
It's not our church; it's God's - it's not our responsibility to run it!
struggle church one-day
While I was raised around churches and had gotten to know a few preachers fairly well, the thought never entered my head that I would one day stand and deliver. Not only was I not interested, I lived with a major struggle: I stuttered.
life church may
The skeptic may deny your doctrine or attack your church but he cannot honestly ignore the fact that your life has been changed.
attitude believe mean
While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.
christian religion sacred
I don't see life divided into public and private, secular and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God.
love risk tolls
If we want the advantages of love, then we must be willing to take the risks of love. And that requires vulnerability. Of course, we can refuse this path and trod another one devoid of openness. But the toll on such a road is extremely high.
confidence attitude choices
Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!
confidence jobs needs
There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
positive giving-up light
I'm glad . . . that Edison didn't give up on the light bulb. That Luther refused to back down. That Michelangelo kept painting. That Lindbergh kept flying.
faith body way
The crisis of physical hunger is essentially a crisis of faith. What or whom will you trust to meet your most basic needs? Will you trust the God who made human bodies, or will you seek your own way? (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)
