Worship is the act of the abandoned heart adoring its God
mean ideas principles
Only by walking with God can we hope to find the path that leads to life. That is what it means to be a disciple. After all -- aren't we 'followers of Christ'? Then by all means, let's actually follow him. Not ideas about him. Not just his principles. Him.

The point is the love story. We live in a love story in the midst of war.

Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.
jesus absence danger
Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.
country kings heart
Should the king in exile pretend he is happy there? Should he not seek his own country? His miseries are his ally; they urge him on. Let them grow, if need be. But do not forsake the secret of life; do not despise those kingly desires. We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.
heart fighting darkness
The heart is God's most magnificent creation, and the prize over which he fights the kingdom of darkness. Now consider this - marriage is the sanctuary of the heart. You have been entrusted with the heart of another human being. Whatever else your life's great mission will entail, loving and defending this heart next to you is part of your great quest.

Faith looks back and draws courage; hope looks ahead, and keeps desire alive.
heart journey stories
The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.
heart matter ends
In the end, it doesn’t matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplished—a life without heart is not worth living.
heart caring selfishness
Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness; it's how we begin to love.
heart men journey
If a man is ever to find out who he is and what he is here for, he has got to take that journey for himself. He has got to get his heart back.
growing-up warrior boys
If we can reawaken that fierce quality in a man, hook it up to a higher purpose, release the warrior within, then the boy can grow up and become truly masculine.
