The Father is truly the only Promise Maker who is in earnest a Promise Keeper. A promise from God is a promise kept.

My brokenness is a better bridge for people than my pretend wholeness ever was.

God talks to His people-to each one of us-through His Word, through the counsel of godly friends, and through the Holy Spirit.

If depression has been viewed as a taboo subject in the church, then suicide and suicidal thoughts are the darkest secret of all. Talking about it doesn't make it more real or powerful; it brings it out of the shadows into the light and love of Christ.

But the witness of the substitutionary atonement of Jesus is that God's most difficult promise has been kept.

God has promised that whatever you face, you are not alone. He knows your pain. He loves you. And He will bring you through the fire.

It's my absolute passionate belief that every single human being, man, woman, or child, is aching to find a face-to-face relationship with God.
