Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

God leads us. God will do the right thing at the right time. And what a difference that makes.

There is something about keeping Him divine that keeps Him distant, packaged, predictable. But don't do it. For heaven's sake, don't. Let Him be as human as He intended to be. Let Him into the mire and muck of our world. For only if we let Him in can He pull us out.

God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.

The claims of Christ are always on trial, and we remain under oath! We are his witnesses for truth.

I have a great staff at the church; they protect me and allow me to focus on more of what I do best.

There's an antidote to our fears- trust. If we trust God more,we can fear less.
