You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.

Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. It runs counter to our self-centered nature.

What matters in life is not so much what happens to us, but what happens in us

When you have a major loss in your life, the first thing you need to do is tell God exactly how you feel.

Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God.

It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.

The fact is, you can say you love God and sing that you trust God and put him first, but your checkbook is where you can show just how much God's grace means to you.
