mean thinking decision
I think we pray, we make a clear-headed decision, and then we quit being so mean to each other. We've got to stop that.
lying difficult-times speak
When we're in the middle of a difficult time, we have to speak against that lie that says, "God is not here." We have to draw near to God.
both perfectly seems suited
He seems perfectly suited to his role. He's comfortable in both (Anglo and Hispanic) cultures.
thinking miracle favors
My thinking is that miracles exist to reveal God, but miracles don't exist for God to do me any favors.
thinking giving long
God's love has a width, length, height, and depth, but we will never reach the end of it. Our capacity to experience God's love will be exhausted long before God's capacity to give it is strained. The picture of having Christ dwell inside us by faith presents us with compelling and comforting possibilities. What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'
thinking challenges looks
Your challenge is not your challenge. Your challenge is the way you think about your challenge. Your problem is not your problem; it is the way you look at it. You can’t always control your circumstances, but you can control the way you process them.
thinking style trying
I have some friends whose sermons are extremely practical - so practical that I can put them right to use. I'm trying to learn how to do that better; but I don't think my approach or style really has changed in these 30 years. Whether that's good or bad I don't know, but I don't think it has.
thinking ideas trying
Well, I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave, and that is what I am really trying to speak to, this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.
thinking people secret
One of the secrets in life is that we really lead a better life when we're living for others than we do when we're living for ourselves, and I think that's the way for our creator intended for it to be, is that if we can live for other people, we really leave this world in a different way.
wisdom challenges needs
You don't have wisdom for tomorrow's problems. But you will tomorrow. You don't have resources for tomorrow's needs. But you will tomorrow. You don't have courage for tomorrow's challenges. But you will when tomorrow comes.
inspirational needs meaning-of-life
Philosophers can debate the meaning of life, but you need a Lord who can declare the meaning of life.
running horse blessing
All I know is that the stable is empty, and the horse is gone. The rest I don't know. Whether [in the future] it be a curse or a blessing, I can't say. All we can see is a fragment. Who can say what will come next [and what is good or bad in the long run]?
giving needs needed
God meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed.
strong tired judgment
Are you weary? Catch your breath. Are you strong? Reserve passing judgment on the tired.
