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.
What's in your heart? ... What disturbs you?
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.
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.
I never have been involved in politics.
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
When the Christian praises and gives thanks to God, this not only pleases God, but it enriches the Christian's life with joy. It is a reciprocating transaction between God and man.
Familiarity breeds complacency.
In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner rather than later.
