grace answers poor-choices
God answers the mess of life with one word: Grace.
jesus heart passion
God rewards those who seek Him. Not those who seek doctrine of religion or systems or creeds. Many settle for these lesser passions, but the reward goes to those who settle for nothing less than Jesus himself. And what is the reward? What awaits those who seek Jesus? Nothing short of the heart of Jesus.
prayer voice demand
I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
heart hands knows
God is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.
son second-chance differences
The difference between mercy and grace? Mercy gave the prodigal son a second chance. Grace gave him a feast.
jesus heart eye
The One who saved your soul longs to remake your heart. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus. Perhaps in seeing Him, we will see what we can become!
I don't have a lot of time in the sermon anyway. The sermon is only 25 minutes, which to me is frighteningly short. So I feel as if I need to get into that pretty quickly and make it as practical and accessible as possible.
volunteer movement enough
Each one of us should lead a life stirring enough to start a movement.
people world want
God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.
children faithful god-is-faithful
God is faithful even when his children are not.
kind
Fredrick Buechner kind of loosened me up, hes got a little irreverency to him and I have a little too much reverancy.
perfect justice want
Vengeance fixes your attention on life's ugliest moments. Is this where you want to look? Remember: God dispenses perfect justice.
self kansas heaven
The wizard [of Oz] says look inside yourself and find self. God says look inside yourself and find [the Holy Spirit]. The first will get you to Kansas. The latter will get you to heaven. Take your pick.
christian perfection not-perfect
What makes a Christian a Christian is not perfection but forgiveness.
