God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.

I'm first a pastor and then a writer.

I think you have to be very careful about any story that puffs you up.

I think we pray, we make a clear-headed decision, and then we quit being so mean to each other. We've got to stop that.

Some people find the gift of salvation. For others the gifts are smaller: a kind word, a good deed. But all the gifts are from God.

To call yourself a child of God is one thing. To be called a child of God by those who watch your life is another thing altogether.

If God was willing to wrap himself in rags and drink from a mother's breast, then all questions about his love for us are off the table.
