As a father of young girls, I want to publicly thank all women who dress and carry themselves like ladies. Your example is a gift.

The commandments are a gift, not a curse. Sin is less about breaking the rules and more about breaking the Father's heart.

The amount of "followers" you have does not make you better than anyone else. Hitler had millions. Jesus had twelve.

A parent asked me today, "How do you get your children to pray in church?" My response? "Pray at home."

We often talk about how we are God's "hands and feet," which is true. That being said, we can't fall into the trap of thinking God needs us like we need Him. He's God - which makes the reality that He wants to use us and be in relationship with us an even sweeter, more profound truth.

Instead of loving the Trinity of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), we tend to love a different trinity: Me, myself, and I.

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.
