One of the tragedies of our life is that we keep forgetting who we are

Too many of us are lonely ministers practicing a lonely ministry.

Spiritual maturity is not knowing what to do with your whole life, but just knowing what to do next.

Solitude begins with a time and place for God, and him alone. If we really believe not only that God exists but also that he is actively present in our lives—healing, teaching, and guiding — we need to set aside a time and space to give him our undivided attention.

Ministry in no way is a privilege...it is the core of the Christian life. No Christian is a Christian without being a minister.

The immense joy in welcoming back the lost son hides in the immense sorrow that has gone before....our brokenness may appear beautiful, but our brokenness has no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it.

You have to listen to the one who calls you beloved. That has to be affirmed over and over again. That is prayer - listening to the voice of the one who calls you "the beloved."
