Thoughts have consequences. Healing from anxiety requires healthy thinking. Your challenge is not your challenge. Your challenge is the way you think about your challenge. Your problem is not your problem; it's the way you look at it.

Real courage embraces the twin realities of current difficulty and ultimate triumph.

I believe a personal relationship with God is healthy, but organized religion has potential for danger, in whatever faith.

God's love has a width, length, height, and depth, but we will never reach the end of it. Our capacity to experience God's love will be exhausted long before God's capacity to give it is strained. The picture of having Christ dwell inside us by faith presents us with compelling and comforting possibilities. What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'

Most people have settled for a wimpy grace. It's something that doesn't change their lives. There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

When you're full of yourself, God can't fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.

I'm protective of the reputation of Christ and the church.
