Usually I'm able to prepare a message about two to three weeks in advance.I know some preachers don't like that. They want to be finishing it on Friday before they preach it on Sunday, but our worship team really likes me to get it done way in advance.

Prayer pushes us through life's slumps, propels us over the humps and pulls us out of the dumps. Prayer is the oomph we need to get the answers we seek.

Unhappiness on earth cultivates a hunger for heaven. By gracing us with a deep dissatisfaction, God holds our attention.

God is not a miser with his grace. Your cup may be low in cash or clout, but it is overflowing with mercy.

You can endure change by pondering His permanence.

Our society is just less open to platitudes, more open to stories.

Gratitude develops faith. The surest path out of a slump is marked by the road sign "thank you, God."
