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.
home heaven want
When you read that our heavenly home is similar to a bride, tell me, doesn't it make you want to go home.
want today tomorrow
Today's belief is tomorrow's behavior. If you want to be happier person tomorrow, sow seeds of happiness today.
motivational want saws
He saw you in your own Gethsemane and He didn't want you to be alone..He would rather go to hell for you than to haven without you.
people treasure want
We preachers, people entrust us with their time week after week. I'm still stunned that people will let me talk to them for thirty minutes about anything I want to. It's a wonderful treasure that we are to steward.
people world want
God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.
perfect justice want
Vengeance fixes your attention on life's ugliest moments. Is this where you want to look? Remember: God dispenses perfect justice.
kindness grace want
Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, "I can clean that if you want." And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes away our sin.
goal long want
There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don't listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won't feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it's to live.
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.
