Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days - when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great - and you turn to God alone.

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you're not.

We have a choice of focusing on our problems or focusing on God, who holds the solution.

Well, in the first place, military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.

Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.

When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way.

In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.
