Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.

You know a multicolor God who created this world is not going to put us in a white heaven. I guarantee you. But we're going to serve Him in heaven. So what does God want us to do? Practice.

You do not grow stronger by accident - you grow stronger by intention.

War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.

We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.

In pain, I'd rather walk with Jesus with all of my questions, than walk by myself with all the answers.

Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
