Life comes from death. To the degree that I can live in the death of Jesus - to that degree I can channel God's life to others.

God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘I am here.’

You never shrink in stature by lifting someone else up.

God’s words trump all opinions, including mine, and in the end, I believe God’s words lead to life.

Faithfully carry what God has put in your hands right now. This is God’s will.

It’s easy: You simply follow the trail of your time, your affection, your energy, your money, and your allegiance. At the end of that trail you’ll find a throne; and whatever, or whoever, is on that throne is what’s of highest value to you. On that throne is what you worship.

Advent is the season that can remind us God is working while we're waiting and we're really waiting with God.
