Try this New Year's resolution: I won't check my phone, my tablet, or my computer until I've first read a chapter in my Bible.

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

Most everyone I know feels frazzled and overwhelmed most of the time.

Sincere biblical repentance is as much a work of grace as not sinning in the first place. To err is human, to make progress is divine.

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.

Am I trying to do good or to make myself look good?

The man who attempts Christianity without the church shoots himself in the foot, shoots his children in the leg, and shoots his grandchildren in the heart.
