I think I could do better in my approach to application. I think I could do better in preaching practical sermons.

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren't worrying.

Theres a verse thats meant a lot to me ever since I was in my early 20s. 2 Timothy 2:8, Paul told Timothy to remember Jesus Christ, descended from David and raised from the dead. Thats a good principle, that if my theology, my whole life can be focused on remembering Jesus. Just trying to remember who He is, what He did, being strong in what He did and what He accomplished.

God would prefer we have an occasional limp than a perpetual strut.

Those who successfully go through tough times do so because they keep insisting.

There are some people that say I need to be more academic in my teaching, I need to be more disciple developing focus, probably true. But where my heart is, is with people who are just passing through difficult time. I want to put literature in a form that is accessible for people who don't particularly read books.

Gods given us all strengths and gifts.
