You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.

God does not want you to become a God; he wants you to become godly - taking on his values, attitudes, and character.

To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about; and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.

If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.

God is love. He didn't need us. But he wanted us.

Your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.
