What I'm urging people to do is trust in the sovereignty of God.

I think the hardest one had to do with suffering. It had to do with all of our church members and friends passing through difficult times. Sometimes it's the global climate: tsunamis, earthquakes, radiation. I think these kinds of questions are absolutely the most difficult, yet we need to be ready to respond to them because we have to be able as pastors to walk people through these valleys, these tough times in their lives.

Christ lived the life we could not live and took the punishment we could not take to offer the hope we cannot resist.

Sometimes when you read the Bible, you find yourself asking, "How does this book know that about me? How does it know that about our world - especially when it was written so long ago?"

There are certain weights in life you simply cannot carry. Your Lord is asking you to set them down and trust Him. What do you say we take God up on His offer?

A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.

I think we have such a crown jewel in the forgiveness of God, and it changes people's lives.
