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.

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as Heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you."

Faith is the bird that sings while it is yet dark.

I didn't want to just write stories that were entertaining. Nor did I want to be so scholarly that people couldn't digest it.

Prayer is the hand of faith on the door knob of your heart, inviting Jesus to enter.

I have some friends whose sermons are extremely practical - so practical that I can put them right to use. I'm trying to learn how to do that better; but I don't think my approach or style really has changed in these 30 years. Whether that's good or bad I don't know, but I don't think it has.

Immerse yourself in the curriculum of grace.
