Many of us want to know why we don't "hear" God when we pray. Few of us shut up long enough to really listen.

To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive.

An annoyed and joyless Christian is the devil's greatest billboard.

When a majority of my prayers are for others to change, I've gotten off track. Lord, change this sinner's heart.

True holiness is not achieved by what we do, but what we allow God to do in us.

Fatherhood has taught me when it's too quiet my kids are usually sinning. God the Father knows the same. Are you praying?

Some people say, "If you trust in God's unconditional love, why do you need to pray?" A better ending is "why wouldn't you want to?"
