heart silence soul
Anger is the noise of the soul; the unseen irritant of the heart; the relentless invader of silence.
inspirational god able
God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue... He is able to do what you can't. He already has a plan. God's not bewildered. Go to Him.
inspirational two voice
Two types of voices command your attention today. Negative ones fill your mind with doubt, bitterness, and fear. Positive ones purvey hope and strength. Which one will you choose to heed?
thinking grace church
I'm right now wrapping up the sermon series on grace. I'd like to figure out what this next series will be in January. To do that, I'm going to come up with four or five really good ideas - at least that I think are really good ideas - and if I don't sense God really highlighting one of those, I will go to the elders of our church and my co-pastors.
airplane writing perfect
You don't impress the officials at NASA with a paper airplane. You don't boast about your crayon sketches in the presence of Picasso. You don't claim equality with Einstein because you can write 'H20.' And you don't boast about your goodness in the presence of the Perfect.
baby jesus children
Worry is anti-trust. If you're worried, you don't trust something: your kids, their friends, strangers, the church, even God. Can He take care of your children? Certainly. Jesus says, 'I tell you, stop being anxious and worried about your life.' Pretty blunt. Stop it! Easier said than done, huh? Worry tests your trust, so hand your children to God and let Him babysit your babies when you're not around. He's pretty good at it!
doe bigs deals
God does not exist to make a big deal out of us. We exist to make a big deal out of him. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's all about him.
real grace quality
I want a real take-home quality to the sermon, so I built the whole sermon series around the word grace, those five letters.
letting-go giving-up dont-give-up
The next time you're disappointed, don't panic. Don't give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He's still in control.
dna ideas parent
Don't see yourself as a product of your parents DNA, but rather as a brand new idea from heaven.
prayer wall dark
Prayer is the window that God has placed in the walls of our world. Leave it shut and the world is a cold, dark house. But throw back the curtains and see His light. Open the window and hear His voice. Open the window of prayer and invoke the presence of God in your world.
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.
inspirational god faith
Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.
worry max praying
No one can pray and worry at the same time.
