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

The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God's keeping.

I am often the brunt of my own humor.

The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.

On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don't quit, whatever you do. Persevere.

Life...as God intended it enables us to live above the drag of fear, superstition, shame, pessimism, guilt, anxiety, worry, and all the negativity that keeps people from seizing each day as a gift from Him.

It is easy for Christians to have the false impression that once we have established a relationship with Christ, which we believe sets us right with God, the problems of life will somehow scoot away or they will slowly be removed from our lives.
