christian growth tests
The best tests of my Christian growth occur in the mainstream of life, not in the quietness of my study
eye views
Choose to view life through God's eyes.
attitude believe mean
While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.
beautiful confused broken
God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.
father son free-gifts
To be "in Christ" is to place one's trust in Him for salvation from sin. To be "in Christ" is to trust His goodness, not our own; to trust that His sacrificial death on the cross paid the complete debt of death we owe for our sin; to trust that His resurrection gives us eternal life instead of relying upon our own ability to please God. To be "in Christ" is to claim, by faith, the free gift of salvation. To be "in Christ" is to enjoy a completely restored relationship with our Father in heaven by virtue of His Son's righteous standing.
second-chance first-impression firsts
First impressions never have a second chance.
journey joy destination
Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
communication thinking today
Think first. Talk less. Start today.
spiritual needs rejoice
Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.
heart long goal
One of my great goals in life is to live long enough to where I am in the pulpit, preaching my heart out, and I die on the spot, my chin hits the pulpit - boom! - and I'm down and out. What a way to die!
trusting-him safety faces
We can't solve modern problems by going back in time. Retreating to the safety of the familiar is an understandable response, but God has called us to a life of faith. And faith requires us to face the unknown while trusting Him completely.
comedian television worship
There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.
struggle church one-day
While I was raised around churches and had gotten to know a few preachers fairly well, the thought never entered my head that I would one day stand and deliver. Not only was I not interested, I lived with a major struggle: I stuttered.
running responsibility church
It's not our church; it's God's - it's not our responsibility to run it!
