order voice needs
God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
needs wonderful wonderful-things
The wonderful thing about God is he knows what we need to persuade us.
christian believe enemy
The longer I live the more I believe that the greatest enemy of a victorious Christian life is passivity.
father simple air
From the tiny birds of the air and from the fragile lilies of the field, we learn the same truth, which is so important for those who desire to live a life of simple faith: God takes care of His own. He knows our needs. He anticipates our crises. He is moved by our weaknesses. He stands ready to come to our rescue. And at just the right moment, He steps in and proves Himself as our faithful heavenly Father.
choices matter conviction
Convictions are a matter of choice, not force.
feelings action
Lead with action and let the feelings follow.
men hard-times please-me
You see, this people [Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, etc.] simply believed that God existed in the situation they were faced with, and they trusted Him rather than themselves. The result? God said, "That pleases Me." They were men and women just like you and I, which is the most encouraging part of all. We don't find golden haloes, or perfect backgrounds, or sinless lives, we just find people. People who failed, who struggled, who doubted, who experienced hard times and low times in which their faith was eclipsed by doubt. But their lives were basically characterized by faith.
jobs wonderful-day gods-will
I don't have to explain or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
jobs wonderful contradictory
Things will happen that seem to be totally contradictory, but these are God's arrangements. It was a wonderful day when I finally realized I don't have to explained or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
yesterday safety want
We want the safety of yesterday even though we know it's not where God would have us.
running want lasts
I want to preach till the last breath in my lungs runs out.
worry problem enjoy
One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you have.
preacher involved
I am a preacher. I'm involved in many other things, but, mainly, I preach. And I love it!
doors keys delight
The Lord delights to surprise us with His goodness, if only we will unlock the door of obedience with the key of faith - which He has given - and then push it open and walk through.
