book thinking trying
I think what happens is that we're so busy as pastors that we never get around to trying to turn that material into a book. It's a shame because there is so much good material out there that needs to be published.
thinking people tough-times
I think the hardest one had to do with suffering. It had to do with all of our church members and friends passing through difficult times. Sometimes it's the global climate: tsunamis, earthquakes, radiation. I think these kinds of questions are absolutely the most difficult, yet we need to be ready to respond to them because we have to be able as pastors to walk people through these valleys, these tough times in their lives.
thinking giving wish
Maybe you've had the experience where somebody's asked you a question and you give an answer, then later in the day you think, "Oh, I wish I'd said that!" I tend to journal these things and put the answers in sermons.
thinking trying losing
So immediately I'm trying to think: What are some of these times when we feel we're losing our hold on Christ, and what's the fear we're trying to address? I try to get into that quickly.
running thinking be-careful
Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.
running jobs world
It's God's job to run the world. Sometimes we accomplish more by doing less.
running jesus wall
Don't you need a fountain of love that won't run dry? You'll find one on a stone-cropped hill outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus hangs, cross-nailed and thorn-crowned. When you feel unloved, ascend this mount. Meditate long and hard on heaven's love for you.
wisdom fall perspective
Answer the big question of eternity, and the little questions of life fall into perspective.
inspirational degrees common
God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.
past yesterday reactions
Yesterday you can't alter, but your reaction to yesterday you can. The past you cannot change, but your response to your past you can.
inspirational life-changing use
Are you on the eve of change? Embrace it. Accept it. Don't resist it. Change is not only a part of life, change is a necessary part of God's strategy. To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.
believe panic doe
Courage does not panic; it prays. Courage does not bemoan; it believes. Courage does not languish; it listens
thinking anxiety mind
The mind that is full of God is empty of anxiety. Are you troubled, restless, sleepless? Then think of God more!
inspirational yesterday mind
Here's what you need to keep in mind. You no longer have yesterday. You do not yet have tomorrow. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. Live in it.
