The next time you find yourself alone in a dark alley facing the undeniables of life, don't cover them with a blanket, or ignore them with a nervous grin. Don't turn up the TV and pretend they aren't there. Instead, stand still, whisper his name, and listen. He is nearer than you think.

Which would you prefer? To be king of the mountain for a day? Or to be a child of God for eternity?

His is a joy which consequences cannot quench. His is a peace which circumstances cannot steal.

I'm first a pastor and then a writer.

Love the one who wears your ring. And cherish the children who share your name. Succeed at home first.

Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but with imagination.

God offers authentic LOVE. His devotion is the real deal. But He won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.
