Jesus kept it simple. The lesson wasn't complicated. 'I speak; you believe My word; your son will be fine.' We complicate what God has made simple by seeing the world through human eyes. We want to see in order to believe and presume that our limitations are His.

God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.

Ours is a bad, bad world, but does that mean nothing's good? Does it mean we have run out of things for which to be grateful? No, no, a thousand times, no!

It is a pity that many Christians have the TV schedule better memorized than a single chapter for God's precious Word.

Let your life yield a sweet, winsome melody that this old world needs so desperately. Yes you can if you will.

If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

I'm not against screens, or new songs, or innovation. I just don't like the gimmicks. I want to know when worship is over that that leader's sole purpose was to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
