The holidays often bring challenging conversations and situations. Sometimes holiness demands that we speak, other times it invites us to be silent. In all circumstances, though, we are called to love.

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.

If I were as good at praying as I am at not praying I'd be really holy.

God doesn't desire our worship because He is egocentric. He desires it because we are.

It's one of the greatest comforts of working in ministry: the unspoken certitude that your spouse did not marry you for your money.

Speaking truth will rarely earn you friends, but it will reveal who your true friends are and who are true friends of Christ.
