Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst

God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.

We have a name for those who try to praise when they have no pleasure in the object. We call them hypocrites.

God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.

God wills to be displayed and known and loved and cherished and worshiped.

Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.

Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power.
