The longer I live the more I believe that the greatest enemy of a victorious Christian life is passivity.

Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.

God's forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it-not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

God is a specialist when the anguish is deep. His ability to heal the soul is profound...but only to those who rely on His wounded Son will experience relief.

To require God to prove that He is able and willing to fulfill His promises would be proof positive that one does not trust Him.

You want to mess up the minds of your children? Here's how - guaranteed! Rear them in a legalistic, tight context of external religion, where performance is more important than reality. Fake your faith. Sneak around and pretend your spirituality. Train your children to do the same. Embrace a long list of do's and don'ts publicly but hypocritically practice them privately... yet never own up to the fact that its hypocrisy. Act one way but live another. And you can count on it - emotional and spiritual damage will occur.
