If you're not dead...you're not done.

If you want what NORMAL people have, do what normal people DO. If you want what FEW people have, do what few people DO.

Because my life was changed by God's Word, I love every organization that helps people know him through his Word.

Your life is too valuable, your calling too great, & your God too awesome to waste your life on what doesn't matter.

Shame usually follows a pattern—a cycle of self-recrimination and lies that claims life after life. First, we experience an intensely painful event. Second, we believe the lie that our pain and failure is who we are—not just something we’ve done, or had done to us—and we experience shame. And finally, our feelings of shame trap us into thinking that we can never recover—that, in fact, we don’t even deserve to.

When we generally make healthy choices about food (or wise choices about life), we tend to move in the right direction, living as we believe God wants us to live. If we make an intentional exception for a special treat or for a diversion, that might not be a big deal. But if we step off the best path, we're tempted to detour into more unwise choices. In that case, your decision does matter.

When we love deeply, love makes us do things we wouldn't otherwise do.
