The gospel costs nothing but it demands everything.

Faith is not logical. But it isn't illogical either. Faith is theological. It does not ignore reality; it just adds God into the equation.

Have you ever noticed that when you pray, coincidences happen? And when you don't, they don't.

To the infinite, all finites are equal.

Prayer is not about letting God know your will; it's about completely submitting to him. You die to yourself.

SUCCESS is not about HERE and NOW. you must pass the TEST OF TIME. the litmus test is FIFTY YEARS from now. SUCCESS is SUCCESSION.

I think a pastor used to be viewed as the one-stop ministry shop. The pastor served on every committee, volunteered at every event, and made all the hospital visits. I think that is changing and I think that is healthy. Both for the pastor and the congregation.
