By focusing too myopically on what we want God to do on our behalf, we may miss the significance of what he has already done.
Philip Yancey... the issue is not whether I agree with someone but rather how I treat someone with whom I profoundly disagree. We Christians are called to use the "weapons of grace," which means treating even our opponents with love and respect.
Philip YanceyJesus reserved his hardest words for the hidden sins of hypocrisy, pride, greed and legalism.
Philip YanceyWhat I see in the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms, which is a book of gratitude for the created world, is a recognition that all good things on Earth are God's, every good gift is from above. They are good if we recognize where they came from and if we treat them the way the Designer intended them to be treated.
