No one can pray and worry at the same time.

God wants the world to see what God can do with his purchased possessions. So he prunes you.

God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.

I think to trust in the sovereignty of God does not excuse my personal responsibility. Just the opposite - it equips me to be personally responsible.

To see sin without grace is despair. To see grace without sin is arrogance. To see them in tandem is conversion.

I don't think I have ever created an entire fiction piece or followed a historical piece and made that into a sermon.

Honesty and vulnerability endear us to people; they don't endanger us in our relationship.
