For years I thought my assignment or the Church's assignment was to articulate the Gospel and nothing more. Now I believe that if we don't support the verbal expression of the Gospel with physical demonstration of compassion, we are not imitating Jesus.

The apostle Paul never seemed to exhaust the topic of grace - what makes us think we can? He just kept coming at it and coming at it from another angle. That's the thing about grace. It's like springtime. You can't put it in a single sentence definition, and you can't exhaust it.

It's important to preach like there's a broken heart on every pew. That's always been a phrase that stuck with me. Not everybody is having a tough time, but you can bet your buck that there's a good tenth of your church that's going through a hard season. There really is a broken heart on every pew.

God is able to place stars in their sockets & suspend sky like a curtain; surely He is mighty enough to light your path.

Deflating inflated egos is so important to God that He offers to help.

God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.

Let's try to present the same gospel but in a fresh fashion, always looking for a better way to connect with the audience.
