Life is all about stewardship. It all belongs to God - he just loans it to us for a short period of time. The first command God gave to man was to take care of the Earth, which includes managing and protecting the environment.
It comes from service. It is by giving our lives away that we find meaning, because that's the way we're wired, I believe, by God.
It basically means the bar closes and everything you've got invested is lost.
What you see from the highway will be brick. It's going to be a pretty building.
What's in your heart? ... What disturbs you?
To become a master communicator: shut your mouth & listen first.
We become whatever we are committed to
Limited faith, limited future. Unlimited faith, unlimited future.
When the Bible speaks of God's love for us and the kind of love we are to have for him and for other people, the word is always apage, signifying a commitment to act.
Will we fulfill God's purpose, or will we shrink back and live a comfortable, self-centered life?
If God was small enough for you to completely understand him, he wouldn't be big enough for you to completely trust him.
Ministry is received, not achieved.
God is at work in the world, and He wants you to join Him....You are the only Christian some people will ever know.
