book writing pastor
All my books come out of sermons, and I'm really a pastor who writes rather than a writer who pastors.
book thinking pastor
All of my sermons become books. I've been accused of having no unpublished thought. I encourage pastors to do that. I think there are so many great sermons that never really get circulation.
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.
past forget-the-past forget
God forgets the past... Imitate Him..
weekend church pastor
We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.
past destiny voice
The past does not have to be your prison. You have a voice in your destiny. You have a say in your life. You have a choice in the path you take.
hurt eye past
Let's be the people who look at the hurting until we hurt with them. No hurrying past, turning away, or shifting of eyes. No pretending or glossing over. Let's look at the face until we see the person.
love-you past visions-of-the-future
Trust God's love. His perfect love. Don't fear He will discover your past. He already has. Don't fear disappointing Him in the future. He can show you the chapter in which you will. With perfect knowledge of the past and perfect vision of the future, He loves you perfectly in spite of both.
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.
