Everything we have - every blessing, every talent - is a gift from our Father. The only thing that's all ours is our sin.

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.

Giving God permission to make you a saint will ruin your life.

The devil doesn't sit idly by while you seek God. If you're pursuing Christ, the enemy is pursuing you.

God loves us too much to pretend our sin isn't there. Sin is a cancer and Christ the surgeon. True prayer signs the consent form.

If we could see, even for a split second, the depths of God's love for us - all we'd want to do is worship and prayer would never seem a chore.

Great morning prayer is like marinating in the Holy Spirit.
