Sometimes prayer moves the hand of God, and sometimes prayer changes the heart of the person who is praying.
Fathers need to be tough and tender...you be tough for your family, be tender with your family. You protect them, and you be a safe place.
The cross is the great jewel of the Christian faith and like every great jewel it has many precious facets that are each worthy of examining for their brilliance and beauty.
You know what I find amazing is within Christianity it is not uncommon to find [married] people who don't have sexual intimacy, don't have emotional intimacy, don't have spiritual intimacy, don't pray together, don't do their life together, don't put their schedules together, don't put their budgets together, but they don't get divorced. So they can pat themselves on the back and say, 'We're good Christians.' They're divorced in everything but the paperwork.
You wanna be counter-culture? You wanna be a total rebel? Get a job! You wanna be counter-culture, totally alternative, radical? Be a virgin until you get married...to a person of the opposite gender. And then stay married and pump out some kids and pay your taxes and read the Bible, you freak. You'll be just totally a rebel.
Don't believe false teaching that says you won't suffer if you really love Jesus. Jesus will end all suffering eventually, but on earth he suffered more than anyone.
You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
There are some women who are a good time and there are some women who are a good legacy.
Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.
The only thing worse than dying is living a boring life.
We need to pay attention to the questions non-Christians are asking, and the conversations that Christians are having.
Sin is not just action. It's life direction.
Spirituality, without the Holy Spirit, is demonic.
Because we worship our way into sin, ultimately we need to worship our way out. When Christians commit sin, they do not cease worshiping. Rather, their worship is directed away from the Creator and toward created things. Repentance is the act of turning from sin and returning to God by trusting in Jesus Christ who is the perfect worshiper.
