Parents, what are your children learning from your worship? Do they see the same excitement as when you go to a basketball game? Do they see you prepare for worship as you do for a vacation? Do they see you hungry to arrive, seeking the face of the Father? Or do they see you content to leave the way you came?.....They are watching. Believe me. They are watching.

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

I don't think I have ever created an entire fiction piece or followed a historical piece and made that into a sermon.

But by faith you look in the mirror and see a robed prodigal bearing the ring of grace on your finger and the kiss of your Father on your face.

When you give a gift to one of God's children, you give a gift to God.

Aging is God's idea. It's one of the ways he keeps us headed homeward.

When God is all you have, then all you have, is all you need.
