I think there is something about a story that is enduring. Stories take on a life of their own.

When we look at the love of Christ, we make a wonderful discovery. Love is more a decision than an emotion! Christ-like love applauds good behavior. At the same time Christ-like love refuses to endorse misbehavior. Jesus loved His apostles, but He wasn't silent when they were faithless. Jesus loved the people in the temple, but He didn't sit still when they were hypocritical.

There are some facts that will never change. One fact is that you are forgiven. If you are in Christ, when he sees you, your sins are covered-he doesn't see them. He sees you better than you see yourself.

Christ lived the life we could not live and took the punishment we could not take to offer the hope we cannot resist.

God has enough grace to solve every dilemma you face, wipe every tear you cry, and answer every question you ask.

I remember enjoying writing those, theres two clues of a gift: you enjoy doing it and people enjoy you doing it.

The Bible is full of stories of men and women who've found themselves in frightening situations but who chose to look up rather than look down - look up in faith - and God got them through it.
