gratitude book world
What I see in the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms, which is a book of gratitude for the created world, is a recognition that all good things on Earth are God's, every good gift is from above. They are good if we recognize where they came from and if we treat them the way the Designer intended them to be treated.
wise watches world
A God wise enough to create me and the world I live in is wise enough to watch out for me.
world
God has, quite literally, all the time in the world for each one of us.
prayer alliances world
God formed an alliance based on the world as it is, full of flaws, whereas prayer calls God to account for the world as it should be.
jesus giving world
The world says you gain your life by getting more and more and more and more, but Jesus says, 'No, that leads to death. You get it back by giving it away and when you give it away you get it back.'
jesus mean world
The Gospels and the rest of the New Testament reflect the life of Jesus, what it means for us & what it means for the world.
genius world bears
For me, the world of nature bears spectacular witness to the imaginative genius of our Creator.
effort world unseen
I have found that living with faith in an unseen world requires constant effort.
humility church world
We in the church have humility and contrition to offer the world, not a formula for success. Almost alone in our success-oriented society, we admit that we have failed, are failing, and always will fail.
fall grace world
The world thirsts for grace. When grace descends, the world falls silent before it.
world this-world
Love deems this world worth rescuing.
broken agents world
Rather, God has commissioned us as agents of intervention in the midst of a hostile and broken world.
As a nonparent, I stand in awe of parents.
faith pain believe
A faithful person sees life from the perspective of trust, not fear. Bedrock faith allows me to believe that, despite the chaos of the present moment, God does reign; that regardless of how worthless I may feel, I truly matter to a God of love; that no pain lasts forever and no evil triumphs in the end. Faith sees even the darkest deed of all history, the death of God's Son, as a necessary prelude to the brightest.
