christian nice book
I work in theology and Christian books all day long, when Im studying, so its just kind of nice to pick up something different. The books that have influenced me, theres not just one book that was a watershed, although Mere Christianity was as much as any.
talking praying christ
Be quick to pray. Stop talking to yourself. Talk to Christ.
grateful wells
We’re grateful when all is well, but can we say the same on disastrous days?
suffering use rewards
A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.
affection
To the loved, a word of affection is a morsel; but to the love-starved, a word of affection can be a feast.
writing godly people
My parents, they were good, godly people, but they never said, You need to write.
grateful believe garden
I believe ingratitude is the original sin. I believe if Adam and Eve had been grateful for the garden of Eden they had, they would not have been so focused on the one tree they didn't have.
worship
Worship is the thank you that can't be silenced
smart people very-smart
I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
hurt eye past
Let's be the people who look at the hurting until we hurt with them. No hurrying past, turning away, or shifting of eyes. No pretending or glossing over. Let's look at the face until we see the person.
dark bird
Faith is the bird that sings while it is yet dark.
stars zebras creativity
God must've had a blast. painting the stripes on the zebra, hanging the stars in the sky, putting the gold in the sunset. What creativity! Stretching the neck of the giraffe, putting the flutter in the mockingbird's wings, planting the giggle in the hyena. And then, as a finale to a brilliant performance, He made a human who had the unique honour to bear the stamp, In His Image.
giving grace succeed
If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace.
compassion giving fists
Compassion gives us a common ground to stand on regardless of your faith background. It gives us a chance to stand shoulder-to-shoulder rather than go fist-to-fist with somebody.
