People struggling with life in a fallen world often want explanations when what they really need is imagination.

God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.

Every time you ask for forgiveness, you recognize that the biggest problems you face in life exist inside of you, not outside of you.

There is nothing that could be revealed about a pastor that has not already been covered by the blood of Jesus

When Christ is my hope, he becomes the one thing in which I have confidence. I act on his wisdom and bank on his grace. I trust his promises and I rely on his presence. And I pursue all the good things that he has promised me simply because I trust him. So, I am not manipulating, controlling, or threatening my way through life to get what I want, because I have found what I want in Christ. He is my hope.

If you don't keep the eyes of your heart focused on the paradise that is to come, you will try to turn this poor fallen world into the paradise it will never be.

Theology without love simply is very bad theology.
