When a Christian stops growing, help is needed. If you are the same Christian you were a few months ago, be careful.

God forgets the past... Imitate Him.

Yes, your family history has some sad chapters. But your history doesn't have to be your future. The generational garbage can stop here and now.

I don't know how to answer the problem of deep pain without a deep hope in eternity.

Someday I want to go back and maybe write another book on those seven sayings. I just think they are kind of like a table of contents to the Christian hope. They invite us to go into all the aspects of the heart of Jesus. Everything about them from the drama, the setting, the passion around them - I think the seven sayings of the cross are powerful.

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.

God meets our needs one day at a time.
