The path marked Pride will lead you over a cliff.

I think I could do better in my approach to application. I think I could do better in preaching practical sermons.

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

Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, "I can clean that if you want." And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes away our sin.

You may go days without thinking of God, but there's never a moment when He's not thinking of you.

Prayer is the window that God has placed in the walls of our world. Leave it shut and the world is a cold, dark house. But throw back the curtains and see His light. Open the window and hear His voice. Open the window of prayer and invoke the presence of God in your world.

I'm first a pastor and then a writer.
