God made you on purpose, for a purpose

It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.

It’s the great temptation for small groups of people to slide into a state where they’re not quite telling each other the truth and they’re not quite celebrating each other. Instead, they tolerate each other, they accommodate each other, and they settle for sitting on the unspoken matters that separate them.

God wants to father all of us until we're dead sure of his approval, his guiding power and his promise of heaven.

It's incredible to realize that what we do each day has meaning in the big picture of God's plan

I can write about prayer, you can read about prayer, but sooner or later you have to fall to your knees and just plain pray. Then, and only then, will you begin to operate in the vein of God's miracle-working ways.

The Christian life is one of faith, where we find ourselves routinely overdriving our headlights but knowing it's okay because God is in control and has a purpose behind it.
