What the new mate, sports car, or unexpected check could never do, Christ says, "I Can." You'll love how he achieves it. He reconnects your soul with God.

May you live in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life.

Sometimes I wonder if we don't see Christ's love as much in the people he tolerated as in the pain he endured.

The book on my nightstand right now isnt anything that inspired me, but it entertained me. I read a book on Labor Day, it was a holiday, and I have three daughters, and we all went to the shopping mall and I sat on the bench and read a book while they shopped, it was called The Greatest Golfer there Ever Was, it was a great book, easy to read and entertaining.

We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.

Truth can arrive within the story and ride latent - a bit incognito - within a story, and people are more prone to receive it.

When no one is watching, live as if someone is.
