My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

Great waves, and blaze with fire like them.In beauty, but do not condemn,The seamen who embark and fail,But only those who will not sail.

When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!

CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others.

I've never heard anyone say the really deep lessons of life have come in times of ease and comfort. But, I have heard many saints say every significant advance I've ever made in grasping in the depth of God's love and growing deep with Him, have come through suffering.

Not going to God because your faith is weak is like not going to the doctor because you feel sick.

God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings.
