We receive God's grace by humbly admitting that we need it.

On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.

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

God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!

I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.

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.

God owes me nothing. He doesn't have to work for anything good in my life. That is only for those who are called according to His purpose.
