Those in the circle of Christ had no doubt of his love; those in our circles should have no doubt about ours.

No one can pray and worry at the same time.

To me that's always a little satisfying - to find an underdeveloped topic and start developing it.

God offers authentic LOVE. His devotion is the real deal. But He won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.

To live as God's child is to know that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more.

Were studying in Philippians, and Im trying to figure out this passage, Paul says I want to know Christ. What does that mean? See, hes fascinated by Jesus. I think thats a desire Id like to have on my heart, to know more about Jesus.

People assume when they come into a church and see a person up there speaking, 'That person must be a good person.' My challenge through the years has been believing that: 'I guess I must be a really good person.' I struggle with it. It just helps me to keep that confessional posture.
