attitude indifference
Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.
god sake
Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
god caring understanding
God is a person [in Christ]. A person can be known only by personal understanding, not impersonal understanding. Personal understanding takes place through love, caring, willingness, intimacy, and relationship.
prayer idols practice
Prayer is essentially the practice of the presence of God, and that is the road to Heaven. There is no alternative. God is the only game in town. All other roads are dead ends. Since we must give our all to the one true God, we must not give any part to idols, to the many false gods that now bite away at our lives.
wall men miracle
A man walking through a wall is a miracle. A man both walking and not walking through a wall at the same time and in the same respect is a contradiction. God can perform miracles but not contradictions - not because his power is limited, but because contradictions are meaningless.
absolutism want moral
Moral relativism says morality is relative, not absolute, I want to show moral relativism, in its popular form, is logically incoherent.
jesus long done
To those of you who would classify yourselves as conservatives I would say, meditate long and hard on Jesus' saying "Whatever you do to the least of these you have done to me".
facts god-love gods-will
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
spirit widowers
Whoever marries the spirit of the times must soon become a widower.
stuff
Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
prayer moving our-world
The first rule for prayer, the most important first step, is not about how to do it, but to just do it; not to perfect and complete it but to begin it. Once the car is moving, it's easy to steer it in the right direction, but it's much harder to start it up when it's stalled. And prayer is stalled in our world.
heart trying canyons
Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.
want saint reason
The only reason you are not yet a saint is because you do not wholly want to be one...
teaching may matter
Americans' deepest religion is often equality. The notion that Christ alone is God-superior, authoritative, supernatural-and that Christ's teaching and person is far greater than Buddha's, or Muhammad's, or Moses's, no matter how much great and good wisdom may be contained in those others, is scandalous.
