pain evil use
The Bible teaches us that God does not cause pain, but that He uses pain and evil to advance His cause and shape His servants.
lying difficult-times speak
When we're in the middle of a difficult time, we have to speak against that lie that says, "God is not here." We have to draw near to God.
fashion messages vote
The wonder of a free-market society is that we can all do our best to package our message in an entertaining fashion and present it - and then everybody votes with their footsteps.
loss insomnia people
December is the most difficult month. Medications for insomnia or depression go up during the month of December. A lot of people who experience loss feel that loss magnified in December. Everybody seems happy and you feel all alone. You're not all alone.
children father trying
To live as God's child is to know that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more.
roots stories
Every faith has its story; every faith has its roots.
believe thinking president
I believe you select a president who best represents what you think are the values that God wants us to have.
pain believe world
I believe for God not to allow pain to happen in the world is for Him to extract free will from the world.
journey path hope-and-faith
Religion is intended to facilitate hope and faith. Much like a path is intended to facilitate a journey.
believe healthy danger
I believe a personal relationship with God is healthy, but organized religion has potential for danger, in whatever faith.
thinking suffering despair
It's one thing to be discouraged. It's another thing to have despair. Despair is when you think there's just no end to this [suffering]. There's no solution for this. Despair is when you think that your suffering has no purpose, and your suffering has no end.
jesus prayer father
It seems to me that the prayers of the Bible can be distilled into one. The result is a simple, easy-to-remember, pocket-sized prayer: Father, you are good. I need help. They need help. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. Let this prayer punctuate your day.
thinking miracle favors
My thinking is that miracles exist to reveal God, but miracles don't exist for God to do me any favors.
fashion trying agendas
Every movie really does have a message. Somebody somewhere is trying to make a point or advance a cause or promote their agenda. There's nothing wrong with that. They try to do so in an entertaining fashion.
