Failure is not an event, but rather a judgment about an event. Failure is not something that happens to us or a label we attach to things. It is a way we think about outcomes.

God wishes to be seen, wishes to be sought, wishes to be expected, and wishes to be trusted.

Ever console or scold people hurt in human relationships that satisfaction comes from God alone? Stop. Adam's fellowship with God was perfect, and God Himself declared Adam needed other humans.

The ministry of bearing with one another is learning to hear God speak through difficult people.

The harder you strike it, the deeper it goes.

When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it's done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human.
