Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.

More than once Jesus deliberately addressed certain issues that quickly diminished the number of onlookers. It was commitment that thinned the ranks.

When a church is spending more of its budget on media than shepherding, something is out of whack. We have gotten things twisted around.

When you pray, pray so that you may know Him. When you seek to simplify, do it as a means of knowing Him more. When you surrender, or behave with humility or sacrifice, do it with the sole purpose in mind to know Him.

For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail.

One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you have.

I am often the brunt of my own humor.
