Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.

Sometimes I wonder if we don't see Christ's love as much in the people he tolerated as in the pain he endured.

No one wants your worries...not even you. Anxiety comes at a high cost. Let Jesus lead you beside still waters.

Every movie really does have a message. Somebody somewhere is trying to make a point or advance a cause or promote their agenda. There's nothing wrong with that. They try to do so in an entertaining fashion.

When we look at the love of Christ, we make a wonderful discovery. Love is more a decision than an emotion! Christ-like love applauds good behavior. At the same time Christ-like love refuses to endorse misbehavior. Jesus loved His apostles, but He wasn't silent when they were faithless. Jesus loved the people in the temple, but He didn't sit still when they were hypocritical.

God crowns us. Most people crown their Christmas trees with either an angel or a star. God uses both.
