hope opportunity people
I choose joy... I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.
opportunity giving lasts
Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity.
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.
christian men people
I would not have said anything about Mr. Trump, never - I would never have said anything if he didn't call himself a Christian. It'd be none of my business whatsoever to make any comments about his language, his vulgarities, his slander of people, but I was deeply troubled ... that here's a man who holds up a Bible one day, and calls a lady "bimbo" the next.
book writing pastor
All my books come out of sermons, and I'm really a pastor who writes rather than a writer who pastors.
