country rainbow people
Be less about protecting any type of identity affiliated to a country or even ethnic background. Be more about the fact that we're here for a short time and Heaven is going to be a rainbow of people, multiculture, every generation.
fashion trying agendas
Every movie really does have a message. Somebody somewhere is trying to make a point or advance a cause or promote their agenda. There's nothing wrong with that. They try to do so in an entertaining fashion.
jesus prayer father
It seems to me that the prayers of the Bible can be distilled into one. The result is a simple, easy-to-remember, pocket-sized prayer: Father, you are good. I need help. They need help. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. Let this prayer punctuate your day.
writing giving long
I don't have any desire to retire in the sense of not doing anything. As long as the Lord gives me strength I want to keep writing and keep preaching.
teacher church firsts
I'm a preacher first and a writer second, although my role is changing a bit at the church. I'm going to bring on a co-teacher, but I'll still be a pastor and a writer.
fashion messages vote
The wonder of a free-market society is that we can all do our best to package our message in an entertaining fashion and present it - and then everybody votes with their footsteps.
roots stories
Every faith has its story; every faith has its roots.
pain evil use
The Bible teaches us that God does not cause pain, but that He uses pain and evil to advance His cause and shape His servants.
pain believe world
I believe for God not to allow pain to happen in the world is for Him to extract free will from the world.
journey path hope-and-faith
Religion is intended to facilitate hope and faith. Much like a path is intended to facilitate a journey.
loss insomnia people
December is the most difficult month. Medications for insomnia or depression go up during the month of December. A lot of people who experience loss feel that loss magnified in December. Everybody seems happy and you feel all alone. You're not all alone.
waiting knowing-god knows
Waiting is an expectant patience. It's a patience that says, "I don't know what God is going to do, but I know God is going to do something."
christian jesus kings
One person told me that Christians believe in a king. We believe in a King Jesus who oversees the affairs of mankind. Maybe we're reaching for an earthly king.
christian men people
I would not have said anything about Mr. Trump, never - I would never have said anything if he didn't call himself a Christian. It'd be none of my business whatsoever to make any comments about his language, his vulgarities, his slander of people, but I was deeply troubled ... that here's a man who holds up a Bible one day, and calls a lady "bimbo" the next.
