How many people have damaged their own lives by mistaking enablement for grace?

I always thought the Bible was more of a salad thing, you know, but it isn't. It's a chocolate thing.

I posted chapters online and let people give feedback, and I was surprised at how much of that feedback I actually used for the book.I posted chapters online and let people give feedback, and I was surprised at how much of that feedback I actually used for the book. It was a different process for me, but I liked it.

A story is a character who wants something and overcomes conflict to get it.

The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

Your life is a blank page. You write on it.

The most often repeated commandment in the Bible is 'Do not fear.' It's in there over two hundred times. That means a couple of things, if you think about it. It means we are going to be afraid, and it means we shouldn't let fear boss us around. Before I realized we were supposed to fight fear, I thought of fear as a subtle suggestion in our subconscious designed to keep us safe, or more important, keep us from getting humiliated. And I guess it serves that purpose. But fear isn't only a guide to keep us safe; it's also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.
