What is God looking for? He is looking for men and women whose hearts are completely His - completely.

I am often the brunt of my own humor.

Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.

You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.

If our perfect Lord is gracious enough to take our worst, and ugliest, our most boring, our least successful, and forgive them, burying them in the depths of the sea, then it's high time we give each other a break.

We want a crowd to make us feel important and liked. But why is getting a crowd our focus? Jesus never suggested that crowds were the goal. He never addresses getting your church to grow. Never.

Things will happen that seem to be totally contradictory, but these are God's arrangements. It was a wonderful day when I finally realized I don't have to explained or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
