jesus acceptance crowds
We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.
jesus doors sanctuary
We can worship Christ in our sanctuaries and we can pray to God on our knees, but how we treat - or neglect - the person next door, the poor, every human being, this is how we truly speak to Christ and this is how we really treat Jesus.
jesus night giving
On the night He was betrayed Jesus broke bread and lifted it up and gave THANKS. If Jesus can give thanks in that, can we not give thanks in all?
falling-in-love fall love-always
Isn't falling in love always the fullest life?
arms matter undone
What was intended to harm, God intended it all for good. And no matter what intends to harm you, God's arms have you. You can never be undone.
moments full-life
I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment.
running writing perspective
Really good writing, from my perspective, runs a lot like a visual on the screen. You need to create that kind of detail and have credibility with the reader, so the reader knows that you were really there, that you really experienced it, that you know the details. That comes out of seeing.
bless ifs
What is time for if not to bless?
grief
When grief is deepest, words are fewest.
swallowing complacency bears
Once you have tasted conviction, you can’t bear to keep swallowing complacency.
grace enough
Grace is the only thing that is ever enough.
mars world mark
Every day, with every word, we get to decide: Do we mar the world, or mark the world?
missing invisible visible
In naming that which is right before me, that which I'd otherwise miss, the invisible becomes visible.
iron kind crosses
Any kind of love that lacks the iron of the Cross in it, is anemic love.
