smart people very-smart
I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
pain perspective people
If the purpose of life is just to live this life and then die, it's hard to answer the purpose of pain question; but if we can help people see from an eternal perspective - that all of this is working together to prepare us for something higher than we've ever imagined, more noble than we've ever dreamed - then we discover some hope that we can hold on to.
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.
writing giving people
Listen carefully to the feedback your readers give you. Dont write unless people want you to write, a lot of people write just because they want to write.
writing people remember
I remember enjoying writing those, theres two clues of a gift: you enjoy doing it and people enjoy you doing it.
writing people week
We get a lot of unsolicited manuscripts here. Im not even a publisher, but we get several a week. I dont read them, but I do glance through some of them, and some people dont need to be writing, they have something else.
writing godly people
My parents, they were good, godly people, but they never said, You need to write.
writing people singing
If you get a lot of good feedback from people, thats a sign that you have a strength or gift in writing, if not ... try singing.
people sovereignty sovereignty-of-god
What I'm urging people to do is trust in the sovereignty of God.
people grace identity
I wanted to talk about how grace in and of itself changes us. It changes the way we treat other people, the way we view our lives, the way we treat our purpose and our eternal identity.
perspective people trying
From my perspective, most of my life has been dealing with the day-to-day, kitchen-to-bedroom-to-living-room-to-garage life with people. Most people are just trying to figure out how to love the people in their world, to love their God and to deal with some of these questions about God.
jesus people waiting
I try to help people see they're going to have these times in which they turn away, in which they deny Christ and their faith grows cold, their convictions weakened; but Jesus is waiting.
weekend church pastor
We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.
christianity christ salvation
Every other religion is a salvation by self, Christianity is a salvation by Christ.
