At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.

If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.

If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.

The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear.

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

I've always wondered, am I a writer who preaches or a preacher who writes? I don't know. I love them both.

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.
