The fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. It’s too unprofitable to be motivated by money. It’s too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and it’s too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.

Your past, present, and future are taken care of as you put your trust in Jesus.

Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.

It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.

Well actually I don't think it's a bunch of bad things that send us to hell. I think it is rejection of God's grace.

Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have to.

Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
