It's a big world. Don't get trapped by tiny dreams and feeble problems. Time for big prayers and bold faith.

The world has been tragic since the day Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. From that moment murder, mayhem and war entered the scene and we are still suffering the consequences of a man-driven, self-serving, short-sighted environment.

Not going to give casual worship to a God of extravagant beauty and grace!

Life isn't perfect and that's the kind of world where Jesus showed up. He wasn't born in a palace on a perfect day. He was born in the middle of the night during tax season to an unwed couple in a stable or a cave in a sheep field. That was God's way of showing us that nothing is perfect. Life is chaotic. It's messy. That's what Jesus was stepping into.

As an overflow of my life - the wake I leave behind with my little dash on earth - I want others to fall in love with Jesus and know of His great hope and purpose for their lives.

God is using your present circumstances to make you more useful for later roles in His unfolding story.

The wonderful living Word of God is more precious than anything else that we have.
