How my relationship with my parents influenced my writing, really not at all. My dad was a mechanic, my mom a nurse.

If I'm a young mom or young dad, I can find a great source of strength. God has promised that He will help me to be the mom or dad that He wants me to be. He has promised to be with me every step of the way. He has promised that He will never leave me or forsake me. These are wonderful promises that I can learn to trust and build a life on.

Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit.

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren't worrying.

God would rather give up His son..than give up on us

Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central theme-salvation through faith in Christ.

My co-pastor is Randy Frazee. Randy is the brightest bulb in this box. He really has a feeling for what a church needs in terms of maturity, so I listen to him.
