writing giving long
I don't have any desire to retire in the sense of not doing anything. As long as the Lord gives me strength I want to keep writing and keep preaching.
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.
shadow-of-death giving people
One of the greatest gifts we can give people is the hope that their death is nothing to fear - you know, not that it has no fear in it, but the promise of scripture is that God will lead us through the valley of the shadow of death.
children healing giving
When you give a gift to one of God's children, you give a gift to God.
giving remember glad
Aren't you glad that God doesn't give you only that which you remember to thank him for?
men giving arrogance
Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit.
stars giving dots
Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you." Eli to Punchinello (p. 25)
real giving surrender
God offers authentic LOVE. His devotion is the real deal. But He won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.
prayer giving-up knowing
Faithful servants have a way of knowing answered prayer when they see it, and a way of not giving up when they don't.
thinking giving long
God's love has a width, length, height, and depth, but we will never reach the end of it. Our capacity to experience God's love will be exhausted long before God's capacity to give it is strained. The picture of having Christ dwell inside us by faith presents us with compelling and comforting possibilities. What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'
thinking giving dollars
Not everybody can create a foundation that's worth a billion dollars, but all of us can figure out those things we do. I really think God loves us too much to give us an assignment we don't enjoy doing.
giving-up dont-give-up needs
You need someone to lift your spirits. You need someone to look you in the face and say, "This isn't the end. Don't give up. There is a better place than this. And I'll lead you there.
thinking giving wish
Maybe you've had the experience where somebody's asked you a question and you give an answer, then later in the day you think, "Oh, I wish I'd said that!" I tend to journal these things and put the answers in sermons.
light giving worry
Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.
