God, the Master Weaver. He stretches the yarn and intertwines the colors, the ragged twine with the velvet strings, the pains with the pleasures. Nothing escapes his reach.

The Bible urges us to be respectful to all people, especially people with whom we have disagreements, to never libel people, to never label people.

Christ became one of us to redeem all of us.

You can climb too high for your own good. Linger too long at high altitudes and your hearing dulls and your eyesight dims.

Our moods may shift, but God's doesn't. Our minds may change, but God's doesn't. Our devotion may falter, but God's never does. Even if we are faithless, He is faithful, for He cannot betray himself. He is a sure God.

It's important to preach like there's a broken heart on every pew. That's always been a phrase that stuck with me. Not everybody is having a tough time, but you can bet your buck that there's a good tenth of your church that's going through a hard season. There really is a broken heart on every pew.

I think "creative preaching" is redundant.
