Good things are not necessarily God things.

Be careful not to blame yourself if someone rejects Christ. If you do, you might be tempted to take credit when someone accepts him.

As we're growing closer to God, I ask people to decide when God wants them to stay planted exactly where they are.

I'd argue that people today aren't rejecting Christ so much as they're rejecting the church.

If you are not dead, you are not done.

God's Word instructs us, teaches us, guides us, encourages us, convicts us, and helps conform us to the image of Christ.

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.
