What causes us to think of prayer as the last option rather than the first? I can think of two reasons: feelings of independence and feelings of insignificance.

God sends his angels to protect us and his Word as a star to guide us. Then he surrounds us with his grace. We become his depot, the distribution point of God's gifts.

Let God have you, and let God love you - and don’t be surprised if your heart begins to hear music you’ve never heard and your feet learn to dance as never before.

Gratitude lifts our eyes off the things we lack so we might see the blessings we possess.

God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.

I think there is a time, if I can say this; there is a time in a message where you might just tell a story to give your audience a break.

Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace... & nothing fosters fear like an ignorance of mercy
