pain real heart
We've got to remember that the core of Christ's plan is to rescue us from sin. Our pain, poverty, and broken hearts are not his ultimate focus. True, he cares about these things, but they're merely symptoms of the real problem.
pessimistic nervous trouble
Americans are nervous; Americans are restless; and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.
jesus real healing
One problem I have with faith-healing is that it tends to be focused only on the physical aspect of healing. But Jesus always backed away when people came to him only to get their physical needs met. My goodness, he was ready to have you lop off your hand! His real interest was in healing the soul.
school honor clubs
I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
heaven suffering sin
God lets us continue to feel much of sin's sting through suffering while we're heading for heaven. This constantly reminds us of what we're being delivered from; exposing sin for the poison it is.
mother children curves
Oh, my goodness, when you're a mother and you just give birth to a child with spina bifida and - or Down's Syndrome or cerebral palsy, there's a bit of a shock you're going to have to go through, a bit of an adjustment curve.
faith religious moments
How can we bless at one moment and curse at another?
faith religious suffering
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
giving
The Bible isn't quick to give answers; it mainly gives the Answer.
desire healed
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
jesus pain hands
If you had never known physical pain in your life, how could you appreciate the nail scarred hands with which Jesus Christ will meet you?
hurt guy boss
Nothing will convince and convict those around us like the peaceful and positive way you and I respond to our twentieth century hurts and distress. The unbelieving world-your neighbors, the guy at the gas station, the postman, the lady at the cleaners, your boss at work-is observing the way we undergo our trials.
confusing
Once the reader firmly grasps the truth of human exceptionalism under our Creator God, then the answers to confusing cultural issues begin to be clear.
differences giving feelings
There's a big difference between feeling thankful and giving thanks. One response involves emotions, the other, your will. Trusting God has nothing to do with trustful feelings.
