You will not find what you want in the world, only in the Father.

Those trapped in sin will not normally thank you for pointing out the darkness in their lives.

There is nothing gray about whether a follower of Christ should see 50 Shades of Grey. This is a black and white issue. Don’t go. Don’t watch it. Don’t read it. Don’t rent it.

There is no sin so prevalent, so insidious, and so deep as the sin of fearing people more than we fear God.

Jesus didn’t do it all. Jesus didn’t meet every need. He left people waiting in line to be healed. He left one town to preach to another. He hid away to pray. He got tired. He never interacted with the vast majority of people on the planet. He spent thirty years in training and only three years in ministry. He did not try to do it all. And yet, he did everything God asked him to do.

The Christian's comfort: I am not my own. I do not make my own rules or create my own identity. There is one who made me and can save me.

Don't try so hard to be hip. When the Church finds out what is cool, it is not cool anymore.
