It only makes sense to ask God for guidance in the context of a life committed to "seeking first the kingdom."

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

sometimes we do not realize how much we have to be grateful for until it is threatened.

Joylessness may be the sin most readily tolerated by the church.

I hate how hard spiritual transformation is and how long it takes. I hate thinking about how many people have gone to church for decades and remain joyless or judgmental or bitter or superior.

The character of the faith that allows us to be transformed by suffering and darkness is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience.
