weekend people hours
I get one hour, really 25 minutes in a sermon on a weekend, to combat all the hours of the week that people are told you are what you have through billboards, commercials, and sitcoms, and so forth.
inspirational degrees common
God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.
god christian religious
God's goal is not to get what you want; it is to get you what you need.
believe struggle years
People assume when they come into a church and see a person up there speaking, 'That person must be a good person.' My challenge through the years has been believing that: 'I guess I must be a really good person.' I struggle with it. It just helps me to keep that confessional posture.
heaven shining shots
You are heaven's Halley's comet; we have one shot at seeing you shine.
compassion expression church
Compassion in evangelical churches is out of balance. When I talk about it, I get a lot of glazed expressions.
past yesterday reactions
Yesterday you can't alter, but your reaction to yesterday you can. The past you cannot change, but your response to your past you can.
thinking grace definitions
The apostle Paul never seemed to exhaust the topic of grace - what makes us think we can? He just kept coming at it and coming at it from another angle. That's the thing about grace. It's like springtime. You can't put it in a single sentence definition, and you can't exhaust it.
running horse blessing
All I know is that the stable is empty, and the horse is gone. The rest I don't know. Whether [in the future] it be a curse or a blessing, I can't say. All we can see is a fragment. Who can say what will come next [and what is good or bad in the long run]?
elephants ears conservative
God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant.
stars people heaven
God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.
sleep kissing giving
What is this love that endures decades, passes on sleep, and resists death to give one kiss? Call it agape love, a love that bears a semblance of God's.
generosity grace happens
When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eyepopping bigheartedness happens.
home special maps
You are saved, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ did. And you are special, not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. And you are his. And because we are his, let's forget the shortcuts and stay on the main road. He knows the way. He drew the map. He knows the way home.
