Spiritually, we have marginalized the Bible. We've trivialized marriage, and we've neutralized the church. America today is in great turmoil. It feels like the soul of our nation has been taken from us.

Men are not sent to hell because of being murderers or liars, they are sent to hell because they are unrighteous.

If Jesus can live in you and you are no different than the world around you, something got short circuited because Jesus makes a difference.

A journal is a great way to keep track of what happens daily in your walk with God and to record your prayers and thoughts.

When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.

No one is saved by good works (Ephesians 2:8-9), but every Christian has been saved for good works (verse 10).

Once we begin chasing approval, we never stop running. It's servitude to a thousand masters instead of one to please.
