jesus receiving-love wife
I enjoy receiving love from my wife. I'm ecstatic when Kim loves me and expresses affection toward me. Something in me comes alive when she does that. But I've learned this freeing truth: I don't need that love, because in Jesus, I receive all the love I need.
school home parent
I ended up dropping out of high school at 16 and getting kicked out of my home. My parents told me, sadly, that because I was so disruptive to the rest of the household, that I could no longer live under their roof.
thinking grace littles
Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it
idols failing christ
If you uproot the idol and fail to plant the love of Christ in its place, the idol will grow back.

You can be sure that your deepest desires reveal important truths about your spiritual condition.
favors walking-with-god walking
Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor; God's favor leads to walking with God.

A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'

To progress is always to begin again.
jesus done
Jesus has done everything for you.
jesus sight genesis
Since Genesis 3 we have been addicted to setting our sights on something, someone, smaller than Jesus.
christian jesus heart
Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior. Too many people have walked away from the church, not because they’re walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus.
humility thinking worry
God reminds us again and again that things between He and us are forever fixed. They are the rendezvous points where God declares to us concretely that the debt has been paid, the ledger put away, and that everything we need, in Christ we already possess. This re-convincing produces humility, because we realize that our needs are fulfilled. We don’t have to worry about ourselves anymore. This in turn frees us to stop looking out for what we think we need and liberates us to love our neighbor by looking out for what they need.
fashion dog hate
Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion.
