gratitude children sunset
Gratitude. More aware of what you have than what you don't. Recognizing the treasure in the simple - a child's hug, fertile soil, a golden sunset. Relishing in the comfort of the common.
mistake justice heaven
You come before the judgment seat of God full of rebellion and mistakes. Because of his justice he cannot dismiss your sin, but because of his love he cannot dismiss you. So, in an act which stunned the heavens, he punished himself on the cross for your sins. God’s justice and love are equally honored. And you, God’s creation, are forgiven.
passion losing life-is
Changing directions in life is not tragic. Losing passion in life is.
letting-go jesus night
I'm thinking, "What difference will this sermon make in their lives tomorrow? What am I trying to give them that will make a difference?" For example, had to do with the theme that Jesus will not let go of you. He's holding onto you. I talked to them about the disciples and Peter on the night before the crucifixion of Christ - how Jesus said that all of you are going to turn away, but He would be waiting for them in Galilee.
christmas angel simple
Off to one side sits a group of shepherds. They sit silently on the floor, perhaps perplexed, perhaps in awe, no doubt in amazement. Their night watch had been interrupted by an explosion of light from heaven and a symphony of angels. God goes to those who have time to hear him-and so on this cloudless night he went to simple shepherds.
government protect
It's up to me to promote my faith and somebody else to promote theirs. Let the government just protect our right to do so.
heart two numbers
What we realize is number one, people want to know what the Bible says. In their heart, they want to know the Bible but it is just hard to understand the big picture of it. And number two, they want to know where they plug in.
couple
A couple of things have helped. One is that I dont travel any, that takes a lot of time from peoples schedules, if they travel, so I dont travel.
suffering attention may
The next time you are called to suffer, pay attention. It may be the closest you'll ever get to God.
jesus believe compassion
For years I thought my assignment or the Church's assignment was to articulate the Gospel and nothing more. Now I believe that if we don't support the verbal expression of the Gospel with physical demonstration of compassion, we are not imitating Jesus.
choices steps finals
If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.
christian joy stealing
His is a joy which consequences cannot quench. His is a peace which circumstances cannot steal.
children parent underestimate
Never underestimate the power that comes when a parent pleads with God on behalf of a child.
each-day one-thing
The one thing that I cannot do without each day is hope.
