I simply think God is greater than our weakness. In fact, I think it is our weakness that reveals how great God is.

The Prodigal Son story is, I think, the greatest short-story ever written. It has such drama in it, such great characters, it's so clear and concise, and it's entertaining in the sense that everyone can relate to it. But you have no doubt what our Lord was trying to communicate in the heart of that story. So the truth was not sacrificed on the altar of entertainment in that case. And it can be.

When you keep the porch light on for the prodigal child, you do what God does every single moment.

Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, "I can clean that if you want." And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes away our sin.

Let God have you, and let God love you - and don’t be surprised if your heart begins to hear music you’ve never heard and your feet learn to dance as never before.

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

If you're looking for a place with no change, try a soda machine.
