I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.

Living a life fully engaged and full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget. Their dreams become one of those "we'll go there next time" deferrals. The sad thing is, for many there is no "next time" because passing on the chance to cross over is an overall attitude toward life rather than a single decision.

I never know what all of the steps are but I do know the next step.

Grace means we can put the chalk away and stop keeping score!

I'm all for getting together with men and women in small groups around Scripture and letting it just wash over us, but for me, I've been meeting with the same ten guys for like 15 years now, but we don't have a Bible study every Friday, we have a Bible doing.

Small streams don't plan to be mighty rivers. We just move in a direction; God decides what He'll have us become.

See people for who they're becoming. Not who they were.
