At our church I do not endorse politicians publicly. Because I am afraid that if I endorse one candidate, it would keep somebody from coming to our church. So I made one exception one time to put one bumper sticker on my car, but I don't ever do it anymore.

I've never really prided myself as being quick on my feet.

I noticed people would read these short articles I was assigned to write for our church bulletin and they would say, Boy, thats good stuff. I got letters from people around the country saying, Thats really good. And I thought, Is it really?

God will use your mess for good. We see a perfect mess; God sees a perfect chance to train, test , and teach.

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.

When our deepest desire is not the things of God, or a favor from God, but God Himself, we cross a threshold.

To live as God's child is to know that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more.
