I don't have a lot of time in the sermon anyway. The sermon is only 25 minutes, which to me is frighteningly short. So I feel as if I need to get into that pretty quickly and make it as practical and accessible as possible.

In the pulpit, I really feel like I'm in my sweet spot, I'm in my stride.

There are some facts that will never change. One fact is that you are forgiven. If you are in Christ, when he sees you, your sins are covered-he doesn't see them. He sees you better than you see yourself.

I do not know when Christ is coming back. No one knows. But I do think the environment is getting more and more to the point where we can look for his return.

God loves people just the way they are, but He loves them too much to leave them that way!

God loves you because He has chosen to do so.

When you're full of yourself, God can't fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.
