winning
No matter who wins, God is still sovereign regardless if my preferred candidate wins or not.
party character decision
Examine the platforms of both parties. Examine the character of both parties. Get down on your knees. Say, Lord, help me make this decision. And then go vote.
pain perspective people
If the purpose of life is just to live this life and then die, it's hard to answer the purpose of pain question; but if we can help people see from an eternal perspective - that all of this is working together to prepare us for something higher than we've ever imagined, more noble than we've ever dreamed - then we discover some hope that we can hold on to.
mom dad writing
How my relationship with my parents influenced my writing, really not at all. My dad was a mechanic, my mom a nurse.
different christianity
There is no religion like Christianity, it is not one religion among others, it is completely different, its mixing apples and oranges.
pain problem eternity
I don't know how to answer the problem of deep pain without a deep hope in eternity.
pain people trying
I try to help people see that God uses pain, that pain is one of the ways God shapes us into the kind of beings He wants us to be for eternity.
maturity feelings church
My co-pastor is Randy Frazee. Randy is the brightest bulb in this box. He really has a feeling for what a church needs in terms of maturity, so I listen to him.
church christ
Our tendency is to be converted to church and not to Christ.
father book heart
I just love those [saying of Christ ]: "Father forgive them, they know not what they do. I thirst. It is finished. Into Your hands I commit My spirit. Today you will be with Me in paradise." That was really the heart of the second book I wrote called No Wonder They Call Him Savior.
political
I don't get asked a lot of questions about who is the best political candidate or what my position is on what the Senate is about to do.
choices democracy
Democracy is the right choice and is the greatest form of government ever created.
letting-go jesus night
I'm thinking, "What difference will this sermon make in their lives tomorrow? What am I trying to give them that will make a difference?" For example, had to do with the theme that Jesus will not let go of you. He's holding onto you. I talked to them about the disciples and Peter on the night before the crucifixion of Christ - how Jesus said that all of you are going to turn away, but He would be waiting for them in Galilee.
pain mean thinking
I think there is, not in the sense that I enjoy it, but that it's an important question. It's the question, "Does the presence of pain mean God doesn't care? Does God not love me anymore?" I think that's a very common connection we tend to make.
