Skepticism can keep us from blessing, can keep us trapped in two minds.

Real question is not who was this man (Jesus), but who is this man?

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

The entire life of Jesus isn't the story of somebody climbing up a ladder; it's a picture of someone coming down-a series of demotions. The problem with spending our lives climbing up the ladder is that we will go right past Jesus, for He's coming down.

Today, see each problem as an invitation to prayer.

People who are servants-humbly, honestly, and joyfully-keep getting revealed as the biggest winners. People who recognize and embrace their smallness keep getting bigger and bigger in God's eyes. It's the oddest scoring system.

Jesus gave the world its most influential movement.
