God is faithful even when his children are not.

Fredrick Buechner kind of loosened me up, hes got a little irreverency to him and I have a little too much reverancy.
perfect justice want
Vengeance fixes your attention on life's ugliest moments. Is this where you want to look? Remember: God dispenses perfect justice.
self kansas heaven
The wizard [of Oz] says look inside yourself and find self. God says look inside yourself and find [the Holy Spirit]. The first will get you to Kansas. The latter will get you to heaven. Take your pick.
christian perfection not-perfect
What makes a Christian a Christian is not perfection but forgiveness.

The Bible is full of stories of men and women who've found themselves in frightening situations but who chose to look up rather than look down - look up in faith - and God got them through it.
mother father thinking
I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin.

Christ lived the life we could not live and took the punishment we could not take to offer the hope we cannot resist.

Conflict is inevitable but combat is optional.
inspirational opportunity giving
If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more? Then do so! Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.
song play voice
We're important, but not essential; valuable, but not indispensable. We have a part in the play, but we are not the main act. A song to sing, but we are not the featured voice. God is.
christmas shepherds groups
Were it not for the shepherds, there would have been no reception. And were it not for a group of stargazers, there would have been no gifts.
empty full-of-yourself vessel
When you're full of yourself, God can't fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.
inspirational mean visitors
The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.
