christmas imagination logic
Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but with imagination.
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.
christmas girl baby
He came, not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror, but as one whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. God tapped humanity on its collective shoulder, "Pardon me," he said, and eternity interrupted time, divinity interrupted carnality, and heaven interrupted the earth in the form of a baby. Christianity was born in one big heavenly interruption.
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.
believe follow glory god save works
I don't believe our works save us, but I believe they follow us into heaven and bring glory to God.
desire glory god
God's glory is the big news of the Bible, and my desire is that it would be all about me, but really it's all about God's glory.
both perfectly seems suited
He seems perfectly suited to his role. He's comfortable in both (Anglo and Hispanic) cultures.
divorce blessing men
Biblically defined marriage is a man and a woman for life, and so anything different than that is not God's ideal whether it be polygamy, whether it be divorce, whether it be a marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. The ideal would be a man and a woman under a covenant of God's blessing.
church reputation christ
I'm protective of the reputation of Christ and the church.
thinking talking views
I'd like to think I'm going upriver in talking about world-view topics rather than particular political or controversial topics.
tough-times essentials engaged
Staying engaged with God is absolutely essential for getting through a tough time.
waiting knowing-god knows
Waiting is an expectant patience. It's a patience that says, "I don't know what God is going to do, but I know God is going to do something."
ideas people decision
Ggrace is God's best idea - it's His decision to ravage people by love, to rescue passionately, and to restore justly.
here-i-am thick-of-it wanted
There was a time I wanted to go into politics. And so all of a sudden, here I am, I guess. I'm in the thick of it.
