needs savior
Since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior. He became like us, so we could become like Him.
storm doe attention
But it is in storms that God does his finest work, for it is in storms that God has our keenest attention
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.
prayer thinking two
What causes us to think of prayer as the last option rather than the first? I can think of two reasons: feelings of independence and feelings of insignificance.
friday pain heart
No matter what the storm clouds bring, you can face your pain with courage and hope. For two thousand years ago-six hours, one Friday-Christ firmly planted in bedrock three solid anchor points that we can all cling to. For the heart scarred with futility, that Friday holds purpose. For the life blackened with failure, that Friday holds forgiveness. And for the soul looking into the tunnel of death, that Friday holds deliverance.
skills giving study
When God gives an assignment, he also gives the skill. Study your skills, then, to reveal your assignment.
writing guy other-guys
I co-pastor now, so I preach six months, then another guy preaches six months. So that's really why I'm preparing for January, because I'll finish in June; then I'll be writing and doing other projects for the rest of the year.
father doors tangled
Somewhere, sometime, somehow you got tangled up in garbage, and you've been avoiding God. You've allowed a veil of guilt to come between you and your Father. You wonder if you could ever feel close to God again. The message of the torn flesh is you can. God welcomes you. God is not avoiding you. God is not resisting you. The curtain is down, the door is open, and God invites you in
mean victory looks
When God looks at you, he doesn’t see you; he sees the One who surrounds you. That means that failure is not a concern for you. Your victory is secure.
responsibility thinking excuse
I think to trust in the sovereignty of God does not excuse my personal responsibility. Just the opposite - it equips me to be personally responsible.
inspirational joy ordinary
Find joy in the ordinary.
prayer differences awkward
Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.
inspirational jesus giving
Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go.
giving-up son giving
God would rather give up His son..than give up on us
