We can worship Christ in our sanctuaries and we can pray to God on our knees, but how we treat - or neglect - the person next door, the poor, every human being, this is how we truly speak to Christ and this is how we really treat Jesus.

We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.

God appoints people who do disappoint - to point to a God who never disappoints.

All fear is but the notion that God's love ends.

Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.

The frame of a soul was never made for fame. The frame of a soul was made to serve.

Life-changing gratitude does not fasten to a life unless nailed through with one very specific nail at a time.
